Which of the following describes the correct order for using the scientific
method?
o
a. a scientist should form a hypothesis, then conduct an experiment.
o
b. a scientist should draw conclusions, then form a hypothesis.
o
c. a scientist should conduct an experiment, then state the question.
d. a scientist should collect data, then state the question.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
