[edit]

Someone made an edit to this article saying it is sometimes thought of as an oxide rather than a fluoride. How widely believed is this?? Georgia guy 22:55, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

density

[edit]

the density is wrong is to high dens for agas drom oxygen and fluorin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.97.146 (talk) 17:14, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

Note that it cannot be classified as an oxide because of larger electronegativity of the fluorine. However, covalent-bonded electrons are not moved to fluorine atoms almost at all, so the molecule is not polarized. But formal, it`s oxygen difluoride, not difluorine oxide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.159.166.98 (talk) 07:18, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reactions

[edit]

The given reaction equations and products in the section "reactions" are somewhat inconsistent. Is sulfur oxidized to the state +4 or +6? And why does a reaction of OF2 with a reducing agent release elemental fluorine but reduce the oxygen? --79.243.250.21 (talk) 23:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One could say that there are whiners and there are editors. Which one do you choose? Get book and look it up! --Smokefoot (talk) 01:38, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Let me re-phrase the question from 79.243.250.21 :
Where is the citation ("book") that says OF2 reacts with SO2 to create F2 + SO3 ?
Also Enthalpy of Formation for OF2 is endothermal (not exothermal),
its the strongly exothermal NaF that "drive" the production of OF2 89.8.230.214 (talk) 15:10, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

odorless

[edit]

According to a crossword puzzle today OF2 is an odorless gas. I suppose if it completely destroys the olfactory cells before they can send out a signal, then it would be. Otherwise, I would expect it to have an odor similar to fluorine. Gah4 (talk) 05:24, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Boiling point

[edit]

The article presently states that the boiling point is 228 degrees Fahrenheit, and that it's storable, which lead to its use in rocketry. I'm fairly certain that it's missing a negative sign, because; A) several chemistry websites have it listed at that, as well as Ignition!, If I remember correctly and B) It would have gotten a lot more press as a storable oxidizer if it were, even with its toxicity and the production of HF as an exhaust product. 2603:8001:2200:338E:BCDD:F4E5:FBF0:1017 (talk) 06:10, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
