Which of the following is not use of compounds of Fluorine
Correct answer: A. SbF2 is used for manufacture of pottery.
- A. SbF2 is used for manufacture of pottery.
- B. Sodium fluoroacetate
- C. CuF2
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Incorrect options and their uses:(b) Sodium fluoroacetate: This is indeed a highly toxic rat poison due to its ability to block energy production in cells.(c) CuF2: This is used in the ceramic industry as a flux, lowering the melting point of materials and promoting smooth glazes.Why SbF2 isn't used in pottery:Antimony trifluoride (SbF2) is a highly hygroscopic and corrosive compound. This means it readily absorbs moisture from the air and can damage other materials it comes into contact with. These properties make it unsuitable for use in pottery manufacturing, where it could damage molds and equipment.

About Transition Elements
Transition elements are identified by their partially filled d subshells in atoms or common ions. The topic covers the electronic structure of d-block elements, including the filling order of 4s and 3d orbitals, variable oxidation states and the distinction between transition elements and elements with completely filled d subshells.
