Hydrogen spontaneously decomposes into two hydrogen atom radicals. One of these radicals reacts with an equivalent of fluorine gas to form one equivalent of HF and one fluorine atom. This fluorine atom reacts with a hydrogen atom to form another equivalent of HF. Write the mechanism of this reaction as series of elementary steps. Assign the molecularity of each step and write the overall reaction.

For reaction AB+C⇌A+BCAB+C \rightleftharpoons A+BC, the activation energy for the forward reaction is 10 kJ/(mol·rxn)–1. When we increase the temperature until the average collision energy of the particles is larger than 10 kJ/mol, there are still collisions between AB and C that are not successful reactions. Why not?
