Iodine forms I3- but F2 does not form F3- ions. Why?

I2 because of the presence of vacant d– orbitals accepts electrons form 
I ions to form I3 ions but F2 because of the absence of d – orbitals does not 
accept electrons from F ions to form F3- ions.

Why the elements of the second row (first short period) show a number of differences in properties from other members of their respective families?

The differences in the properties of the first member of a group from those of the other members are due to 
(i) the smaller size of atom. 
(ii) presence of one inner shell of two electrons and 
(iii) absence of d – orbitals.
