Fluorine is a nonmetal. It is located in group 17 of the Periodic Table. It tends to obtain an electron to form the fluoride ion.
Fluorine is the element with highest electronegativity. So it does not tend to lose electrons. It is in the 17th group of the periodic table.

Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Metals usually lose electrons, this is why many charges are positive.
How many electrons does fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
Does fluorine have two Electrons?
No, fluorine has nine electrons total and seven valence electrons.
Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain or lose electrons?
Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose electrons.
Does fluorine gain or loose electrons?
Fluorine tends to gain electrons
How many electrons would magnesium lose if it reacted with fluorine?
Magnesium lose two electrons to form MgF2.
How many electrons will fluorine lose in forming an ion?
It will lose one eletron
Do alkali metals tend to gain or lose electrons?
Alkali metals tend to lose electrons in chemical reactions.
What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?
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?
Why do metals tend to lose electrons to form positive?
Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions because, for metals to gain a full outer shell, they need to lose electrons.
Do atoms of metallic elements tend to gain or lose electrons?
Metals usually lose electrons, this is why many charges are positive.
How many electrons does fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
What kind of atoms tend to lose atoms?
Metals lose electrons.
What of atom tends to lose one electron?
Metals tend to lose electrons.
Does a fluorine atom lose electrons when forming a fluorine ion?
Technically yes ... the naming convention is that X ion is the ion you get if you pull electrons off X.However, nothing is electronegative enough to do this to fluorine, so fluorine instead forms fluoride ions by gaining one electron.
Does fluroine lose or gain electrons?
Fluorine (F) gains 1 electron to fill its second energy level with 8 electrons.
How do lithium and fluorine become stable together?
lithium donates the electron in its outer orbital to fluorine which then has a completed outer shell
