Solid HF consists of zig-zag chains of HF molecules. The HF molecules, with a short covalent H–F bond of 95 pm length, are linked to neighboring molecules by intermolecular H–F distances of 155 pm. [4] Liquid HF also consists of chains of HF molecules, but the chains are shorter, consisting on average of only five or six molecules. [5]
The W–F bond distances are 183.2 pm. [6] Between 2.3 and 17 °C , tungsten hexafluoride condenses into a colorless liquid having the density of 3.44 g/cm 3 at 15 °C . [ 7 ] At 2.3 °C it freezes into a white solid having a cubic crystalline structure, the lattice constant of 628 pm and calculated density 3.99 g/cm 3 .
Initially, one line (representing a single bond) is drawn between each pair of connected atoms. Each bond consists of a pair of electrons, so if t is the total number of electrons to be placed and n is the number of single bonds just drawn, t−2n electrons remain to be placed. These are temporarily drawn as dots, one per electron, to a maximum ...

If the two 1s orbitals are not in phase, a node between them causes a jump in energy, the σ* orbital. From the diagram you can deduce the bond order, how many bonds are formed between the two atoms. For this molecule it is equal to one. Bond order can also give insight to how close or stretched a bond has become if a molecule is ionized. [12]
The fluorine–fluorine bond of the difluorine molecule is relatively weak when compared to the bonds of heavier dihalogen molecules. The bond energy is significantly weaker than those of Cl 2 or Br 2 molecules and similar to the easily cleaved oxygen–oxygen bonds of peroxides or nitrogen–nitrogen bonds of hydrazines. [8]
The bifluoride ion has a linear, centrosymmetric structure (D ∞h symmetry), with an F−H bond length of 114 pm. [1] The bond strength is estimated to be greater than 155 kJ/mol. [2] In molecular orbital theory, the atoms are modeled to be held together by a 3-center 4-electron bond (symmetrical hydrogen bond), [3] in a sort of hybrid between a hydrogen bond and a covalent bond.
Uranium dioxide is converted with hydrofluoric acid (HF) to uranium tetrafluoride: [4] UO 2 + 4 HF → UF 4 + 2 H 2 O. In samples contaminated with uranium trioxide, the oxyfluoride is produced in the HF step: UO 3 + HF → UF 2 O 2 + H 2 O. The resulting UF 4 is subsequently oxidized with fluorine to give the hexafluoride: UF 4 + F 2 → UF 6
