quatumrulesoverall Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Hi guys,I would like to pose to all of you another question, which I am still working on:);) :eek: Here goes the question:"Why F3- doesnt exist but I3- ?"Waiting a reply from you guys:D Quote
Jay-qu Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 I think it may have something to do with how tightly it holds onto its 9 electons.. very high electronegativity, actually the highest is it not! Quote
quatumrulesoverall Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Posted August 6, 2006 I dont think F3- and I3- gonna have 9 electrons but 8 instead, And what I am still wondering is that why only one of them (I3-) exist.Thx very much....:D) ::eek: Quote
JackOfTraDeZ Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 F is in a class all by itself. I work with it occasionally. It is seriously horny for an electron to fill it's outer shell and it don't like to share. Thus: F3- -->> F2 + F- is favored. Iodine is big and mushy. It can actually lose electrons to give I+x species which are mild oxidizing agents. (Cl and Br can too, but less happy) Quote
