What would happen if I bleached my clothes with sodium hypofluorite instead of sodium hypochlorite? Would I get more bleaching power or less?

you'd die a very very painful death
What about cesium hypofluorite? Would changing the cation up or down Group I have an effect on how well it cleans laundry?
>>7943867
you will still die of fluorine poisoning
Peroxymonosulfuric acid is the true bleaching agent, it'll bleach your clothes so hard even the fabric will go under complete oxidation.

Not the same anon.
This stuff is real, but its really expensive and incredibly dangerous to handle. It wouldn't just bleach the clothes, it would turn cotton into gas.

I was thinking maybe it wouldn't dissociate as well, like HF vs HCl
It's a theoretical question obviously. What about Li or K then, you autist.

I would like to see this.
The article is full of spiffy quotes:

It's fairly obvious that Lithium should form a stronger bond than Sodium and that Potassium forms a weaker one.
However I doubt that it would be a significant difference, especially between Sodium and Lithium.
There might be a significant change if you go from Cesium to Francium, since you have the entire F-Block between those.
