1 F is called super halogen because it is most reactive
halogen
Reaction of fluorine with NaOH
2F2 + 4NaOH >> 4NaF + O2 +
2H2O
2 Photosensitization, the process of
initiating a reaction by the use of a substance which is capable of
absorbing light energy This energy is then used to carry out the
reaction
For example Photosynthesis is a photosensitized reaction in
which chlorophyll is used as photosensetizer
