Noble gas with one half-filled p-orbital from each F atom, resulting in a filled bonding orbital, a filled non-bonding orbital, and an empty antibonding orbital. The highest occupied molecular orbital is localized on the two terminal atoms. This represents a localization of charge which is facilitated by the high electronegativity of fluorine. The chemistries of the heavier noble gases, krypton and xenon, are well established. The chemistry of the lighter ones, argon and helium, is still at an early stage, while a neon compound is yet to be identified. The abundances of the noble gases in the universe decrease as their atomic
Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style on Quintillian's rhetorical guide, "Institutio Oratoria". The first chapter of book 10 in Quintillian's "Oratoria" is titled ""De copia verborum"". This is quite possibly where Erasmus received his most direct inspiration for the book. In that 10th chapter, Quintillian declined to give examples for employing the abundant style, on the grounds that each individual case requires a unique solution. This left the door open for Erasmus to detail the abundant style in "Copia". Erasmus acknowledges Quintillian in the preface, and borrows from him (and other classical authors) throughout "Copia", sometimes citing, sometimes not. As further revisions of "Copia" are printed,
