Why is hypofluorous acid unstable?
The chemical behavior of hypofluorous acid (HOF) is dramatically different from the heavier hypohalous acids which, as a group, exhibit similar properties. These differences are attributed primarily to the high electronegativity and small size of the fluorine atom, which cause HOF to be an extremely strong oxidant with an anomalously weak O-F bond. Thus, the molecule is highly reactive and relatively unstable

Boom.
Aha, but will it just shake the room OR do you want me in your room?
