Fluorine belongs to the 7th Group of the Periodic Table - the halogens. It has --> 9 Protons 10 Neutrons 9 electrons in the atomic state.
Also - it's oxidation state (valency) is (1-) or (7+) It has 7 electrons in it's outer most shell.

as the atomic number is 9.so 9 electrons are distributed in different sub shells
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNine electrons in two shells: 2 and 7 resp. in the 1st and 2nd.
Remember: number of shells is the number (name) of the period in the periodic system.

Why do fluorine and chlorine have similar properties?
Flourine and Cholrine have similar properties because they have the same number of electrons in outmost shell (7). Each group has similar properties because their amount of valence electrons (electrons in the outmost shell) can only support bonding with certain elements.
Is fluorine a much stronger oxidizer than oxygen?
Yes! One of the reasons is that Flourine has 7 valence electrons, meaning that it 'wants' to accept an electron (oxidizing) from the reducing agent more than Oxygen 'wants' to.
Is flourine a nonmetal?
Yes, fluorine is a nonmetal.
What element has the greatest electronegativity?
Fluorine... by far. Its so electronegative that it will never form double bonds, even if they would make sense by the octet rule. BF3 is a really good example of this
Is an ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?
Assuming that "flourine" is intended to be "fluorine", the answer is no. Both carbon and fluorine are unlikely to be electron donors and therefore form a covalent bond instead, so that both of these non metals can share electrons.
How many electrons in an atom of flourine-19?
A fluorine atom has 9 electrons and it has the only isotope, fluorine-19.
How many electrons of floride-19?
Fluoride-19 has 10 electrons (just to mention it, fluoride is the ion of flourine, so if you meant fluorine, fluorine has 9 electrons).
What are the elements with seven valence electrons?
halogens such as flourine, chlorine, bromine..
What atom has a higher potential energy neon or fluorine?
Flourine. Neon already has 8 valence electrons. It doesn't want to bond with anything. Flourine needs one more electron.
What ions would form from the element F?
F-1 (flouride). Flourine has the strongest attraction for electrons of any element, so the oxidation state of -1 is the only one that flourine uses.
How many polar bonds does sulfur tetrafluoride have?
Flourine is far more electronegative, meaning it pulls harder on the electrons, making it slightly negative and the sulfur slightly positive.
How many electrons does fluorine-19 have?
Fluorine-19 (not "flourine-19) has an atomic number of 9 and therefore has 9 each of protons and electrons. The number of neutrons is found by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number: 19 - 9 = 10 neutrons.
How many valence electrons does the element F have?
I believe there is 8 electrons in the outer valence
Why does the fluorine atom tend to gain only one extra electron?
The atomic number determines how many protons and electrons an atom has. Flourine's atomic number is 9 so there are 9 protons and electrons. Energy levels of atoms can only hold a maximum number of electrons per enegery level. The first energy level (s) holds 2 electrons. The second level (p) holds a maximum of 8 electrons because s has two and p has 6. So, Flourine's energy levels would be as follows: 1s2, 2s2 2p5 Energy levels need even pairs to be stable, so Flourine tends to gain only one electron because that is all that is needed for 2p5 to be filled to its maximum capacity. It is easier for an atom to gain one electron than give up 5.
What type of element is flourine?
Flourine is part of the Halogen groups
What element has 9 electrons?
Flourine (atomic number 9) has 9 protons and 9 electrons and 10 neutrons. Of course if it were a trick question than all elements with an atomic number of 9 or greater would hae 9 electrons :)
Why fluoride is more stable than flourine?
It has the last electron to fill the p-subshell. Its valence electrons mimic a noble gas, so it is nonreactive.
