AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Exothermic Reactions**: - Exothermic reactions are those that release energy, usually in the form of heat, during the reaction process. 2. **Electronegativity of Fluorine**: - Fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table, with an electronegativity value of 4.0 on the Pauling scale. This high electronegativity means that fluorine has a strong tendency to attract electrons towards itself. ...
