Why does fluorine show anomalous behaviour?

Answer»

Fluorine exhibits anomalous behaviour as compared to other halogens in the group. 

The reasons for anomalous behaviour of fluorine are as follows :

  • the smallest size of fluorine 
  • the highest electronegativity 
  • low bond dissociation enthalpy of F-F bond 
  • non-availability of d-orbitals in its valence shell.
