Fluorine forms a 1- ion because it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, this is not very stable.
What is stable is a full outer shell of 8 electrons.
So a fluorine atom will take an electron (which carries a 1- charge) from another atom to complete this so-called octet.
Fluorine will gain one electron to form F- (or fluoride) ion. Fluoride ion has a charge of -1.
The cadmium ion has a 2+ charge and each fluoride ion has a 1- charge, so two fluoride ions are needed to balance the 2+ charge of cadmium. Two F- ions provide a total negative charge of 2- to balance the 2+ charge of cadmium.

Formula: XF3 where X is the element with which fluorine is bonded
Fluorine is the name of the element and has 9 electrons. Fluoride is the name of the halide ion, carries a 1- charge and has 10 electrons.
The charge on a fluoride ion is -1.
If the oxidation is iii,charge also +3.Fluoride has -1 charge on it.
Fluorine will gain one electron to form F- (or fluoride) ion. Fluoride ion has a charge of -1.
it gains an atom
-1.
Fluoride ions have a charge of -1, so three fluoride ions have a total charge of -3. Since there is only one manganese ion in the formula, the manganese ion has to have a charge of +3, so that the overall charge is 0.
It is a single negative charge, so the fluoride ion is denoted F-. The fluorine atom gains one electron to incur a single negative charge of -1.
In any ionic compound the charges of the ions must balance out to zero. The zinc ion has a 2+ charge while the fluoride ion has a 1- charge. So zinc fluoride must contain two fluoride ions for every zinc ion.

The cadmium ion has a 2+ charge and each fluoride ion has a 1- charge, so two fluoride ions are needed to balance the 2+ charge of cadmium. Two F- ions provide a total negative charge of 2- to balance the 2+ charge of cadmium.
Li ion has a charge of +!, lithium is in group 1, an alkali metal
