Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

thanks, both of you
