Just one. Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell so sharing an electon with another atom in a covalent bond takes its shell up to 8, the noble gas configuration. The covalent bonds that luorine forms are generally highly polar because of fluorines high electronegativity.
This is an example of the "octet" rule.

How many valence electrons are in a fluorine atom Will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
Is potassium atom and a fluorine atom is covalent or ionic bond?
Potassium and fluorine will form an ionic bond
Will fluorine atoms form bonds?
Fluorine gains an electron. Fluorine is very reactive and will form bonds.
Two bonded fluorine atoms form?
A fluorine atom forms a covalent bond with another fluorine atom to produce the fluorine molecule which is gaseous at room temperature.
A chlorine atom reacts with a sodium atom to form sodium chloride, NaCl. A chlorine atom can also react with another chlorine atom to form a chlorine molecule, Cl2. Which statement BEST explains the behavior of chlorine in these two reactions?
A chlorine atom can form ionic bonds by accepting an electron and covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
How many valence electrons are in a fluorine atom Will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
How many valence electrons in a fluorine atom will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain.?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
Can a fluorine atom form a covalent bond?
Yes
Is potassium atom and a fluorine atom is covalent or ionic bond?
Potassium and fluorine will form an ionic bond
Does fluorine usually form ionic or covalent bonds?
Fluorine's bonds are technically covalent, but it is such a strongly electron withdrawing group that for all intents and purposes its bonds can be considered ionic.
Is carbon and fluorine ionic?
Generally carbon forms covalent compounds. There are compounds with carbon anions, for example CaC2, calcium carbide which contains the C22- anion
Given that it has the highest electronegativity can a flouride atom ever form a nonpolar covalent bond?
A fluorine atom can never form a nonpolar covalent bond because if you were to use the electronegativeity chart and subtract the second highest number with Fluorine, you get numbers that range from 0.6 (polar covalent) to 3.3 (ionic).
Can fluorine form a nonpolar covalent bond?
Yes, but only with another fluorine atom.
Will fluorine atoms form bonds?
Fluorine gains an electron. Fluorine is very reactive and will form bonds.
Which element will most likely form covalent bonds with fluorine?
Potassium
How many single covalent bonds can a carbon atom form?
A carbon atom can form 4 single covalent bonds
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?
Carbon forms covalent bonds with fluorine.
