Pauling's electronegativity scale, the most widely used and found in every chemistry textbook, ranges from 0.7 for cesium to 4.0 for fluorine. The higher an element's electronegativity, the stronger ...

Herbert Roesky relates how the small, highly electronegative fluorine atom unveiled the chemical reactivity of noble gases and found many practical applications. but it can also render organic ...

Part of the reason that we need to do this simultaneous technique is because elements like fluorine are not amenable to the ...
