Why does Fluorine have a higher electronegativity than Carbon?

Fluorine has a higher electronegativity than carbon

Explanation:

Electronegativity trend

-As you go from left to right across the periodic table, the electronegativity increases.

-As you go from top to bottom, the electronegativity decreases.

-We know that both carbon and fluorine are in the same energy level or period 2. However, Carbon is in group 14, which has 4 valence electrons, while fluorine is in group 17, which has 7 valence electrons. Therefore, fluorine has a higher electronegativity because fluorine is desperately wanted to gain 1 more valence electron to become stable (octet rule).

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
