Correct Option: A
Fluorine (F) is the most reactive chemical element and the lightest member of the halogen elements.
The great reactivity of fluorine largely stems from the relatively low dissociation energy, a standard measure for bond energies, of the F―F bond (37.7 kilocalories per mole) and its ability to form stable strong bonds with essentially all the other elements. More
