All the information is there.

The 9 is the atomic number of the atom, an element by definition has only 1 possible atomic number. This means it has 9 protons in the nucleus, and if it is atomic (not ionic), as it is in this case, then it has 9 electrons as well.

19 refers to the Atomic Mass, this is the number of protons + the number of neutrons. So if we take the number of protons (9) away from the mass of the nucleus (19) we are left with 10, which must be the number of neutrons in this isotope of the element.

To recap
9 protons
9 electrons
10 neutrons

9: There are always 9 protons in any fluorine atom, since fluorine is "defined" as the element whose atoms contain exactly nine protons.

No. of protons = atomic number = 9

No. of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 19 - 9 = 10
