Reaction of sodium fluoride and chlorine
« on: November 11, 2019, 03:21:43 AM »
Me and a few classmates have been arguing about this. The question is if anything will happen? Will flourine get substituted by chlorine/bromine to make sodium chloride/bromide or will it just stay the same sodium fluoride? Assuming normal RTP. And what is the reason for either outcome?

Which one is more chemically active - chlorine or fluorine? Or, more generally - what is the trend of activity changes for halogens?

The trend of reactivity goes down from flourine to iodine, right? Does that mean as well that the bonds flourine has with sodium are strong enough so that Chlorine doesn't break them?
