fluorine is a toxic, reactive gas. which representation (structural formula, electron dot structure, or three-dimensional model) would you use to explain why fluorine is so reactive, why?

Question

anonymous · Answer

I think it would be electron dot structure but i'm not sure.

anonymous · Answer

I agree.  Lewis structure shows the bonding between atoms, which will determine its reactivity.

True, I would personally look at the electronegativity using the model proposed by Robert S. Mulliken.
