A Note on the Thermochemistry of Fluorine and Its Compounds

Abstract

The recent direct determinations of the energy of dissociation of ClF into atoms necessitates a new value for the energy of dissociation of the Fluorine Molecule. It is shown that the new value of D(F2) = 32.6 k.cals/mol. is qualitatively supported by bond energies and bond distances in certain compounds and a possible reason for this very low energy is suggested;. This new value leads to considerable changes in the value of D(HF) and the strength of the carbon-fluorine bend in CF40 Suggestions for further work to confirm this flew value are made.
