∙ 10y agoFlourine is a nonmetal. Nonmetals usually gain electrons and form anions, or negatively charged ions.
It is a negative ion because to form a positive ion (cation) you must lose electrins and to form a negative ion (anion) you must gain electrons. Flourine has 7 valence electrons so it needs to just gain one more electron to fill its outermost shell.

Does fluorine form a positive or negative ion?
Negative (Fl-) All the halogens become negative ions.
What is the symbol fluorine ion?
Fluorine element is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. ( F-F) The fluoride ion is 'F^-' . (NB The fluorine ion is named as 'Fluoride'.
Why fluorine form negative ions?
The atomic number of fluorine is 9. Therefore its outermost shell contain 7 electrons and hence its valency (oxidation state) is -1.Hence fluorine will take part in chemical reactions by accepting 1 electron to complete its octet. So it forms negative ion F- .Added:Actually this is the only possible ion form of fluorine, being the most electronegative element of all. Positive ions are impossible.
How many electrons would fluorine have to gain or lose too become stable what will be the stable ion's charge?
Fluorine will gain one electron to form F- (or fluoride) ion. Fluoride ion has a charge of -1.
Does fluorine form a cation or a anion?
Fluorine is a neutral atom, though fluoride is an anion. Fluorine does not form cations, or any compound, complex ion, or coordinate complex in which it has a positive oxidation state, unlike the other halogens.
When potassium and fluorine bind which will form into a positive or negative ion?
Potassium loses 1 electron to form the K+ ion. Fluorine gains one electron to form the F- ion
Does flurine form a positive or negative ion?
Fluorine is negative and will produce a negative ion.
When Potassium and fluorine atoms bind which will form the positive ion?

Does fluorine form an ion with a positive charge?
NO !!!! Fluorine form an ANION , that is an ion eith negative charge. 'F^(-) '.
What is the usual ion form of fluorine?
Fluoride Ion
When potassium and fluorine bind what one will be the positive ion and which one will be the negative ion?
Potassium will be the the positive ion, and fluorine will be the negative ion because the potassium atom will give one electron to fluorine for they can both be stable. Fluorine will receive one electron from potassium and it will be stable because it has now 8 valence electrons. Giving is positive and receiving is negative. Hope this helps.
Is fluorine an ion?
NO!!! Fluorine is an elemental gas , with the formula of 'F2'. Structurally (F-F ). However it does form the ion , the fluoride ion , 'F^-'.
Is fluorine a positive molecule?
F2 is a neutral diatomic molecule, it often reacts to form compounds that have a fluoride F-, ion.
How many electrons does fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
Does fluorine form a positive or negative ion?
Negative (Fl-) All the halogens become negative ions.
Which atoms will form an ionic bond?
A positive ion and a negative ion. two oppositely charged ions
What is the symbol fluorine ion?
Fluorine element is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. ( F-F) The fluoride ion is 'F^-' . (NB The fluorine ion is named as 'Fluoride'.
