'Fluoride atom'. ????

The fluorine ATOM is 'F'

The fluorine molecule is 'F2'.

The Fluoride ION is 'F^-'

NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION.

The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom.

So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
