 because of flourine's high electro negativity than chlorine,in difloro carbene the negative charge is stabilised so difloro carbene more stable

also consider the size of central atom and the surrounding atom.like C and F can form bond fairly strong But C & Cl due to size diffrence cannot form stable bond.

Due to small size of F the F-C bond is very strong.
