Abstract: Fluorine’s extreme electronegativity is examined from an atomic orbital standpoint. We highlight its high effective nuclear charge with minimal shielding, the low energy (tight binding) of its valence 2p orbitals, and its large ionization energy and electron affinity. These factors, taken together, explain why fluorine attracts electrons more …
