Fluorine tends to gain electrons
That depends on the reaction, and the gain of electrons is refereed to as reduction.
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
gain one electron to form fluoride anion
0 he has glasses
P has 5 valence electrons so it can gain 3 electrons or lose 5 electrons to have a full valence shell.
one

A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?
They will loose electrons.
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and should gain 1 more electron.
One, and only one.
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
gain one electron to form fluoride anion
ions
They need to gain them.
