Explanation:

Reaction of F2 with water: Unlike other halogens, fluorine being highly electronegative reacts vigorously with water.

The reactions shown by fluorine with water produces hydrogen fluoride (HF) , oxygen (O2) or ozone gas (O3) varying with the amount of fluorine used as a reactant and also with the way it is fed.

The two types of reactions are:

When less amount of fluorine gas is fed into water slowly.

p element

When excess of fluorine gas is fed fast into water.

p element

Reaction of Cl2 with water: Chlorine reacts with water to give a green solution. This reaction takes place in the absence of sunlight and the reaction gives a mixture of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and chloric (I) acid (hypochlorous acid,

p element

Final Answer:

Fluorine reacts violently with water forming hydrogen fluoride and liberates oxygen or ozone. Chlorine reacts with water to give hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid.
