Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. In order to become stable, Florine will share 1 electron with another atom to get 8 electron and become stable.

What type of atom is an atom with 9 protons 9 neutrons and 10 electrons?
It isn't an atom, it would actually be a stable Fluorine Ion with a -1 charge.
How many electrons would polonium lose to become stable?
Atoms become chemically neutral with either 2 or 8 electrons in the outermost orbital. Polonium would lose 2 electrons to become chemically neutral. Because Polonium is radioactive it will remain unstable until gains two in Atomic Number to resemble the configuration of Lead.
How many electrons trifloride?
Neutral fluorine has an atomic number of 9, meaning it has 9 protons and 9 electrons. Trifluorine, were it to actually exist on its own, would be a molecule comprised of three fluorine atoms. Therefore, trifluorine would have 3 X 9 = 27 electrons per molecule.
Which element consists of atoms that's most strongly attract electrons of other atoms?
The element that attracts electrons the most would be Fluorine
How many electrons would an atom of carbon need to have to be a negative ion?
There are six electrons in two shells.In order to stable carbon, it take electrons from nearest noble gas to stable the carbon.It order to stable carbon it gain -4 electrons from the nearest noble gas Neon.
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.
How many number of bonding electrons does fluorine have?
Flourine is in Group XVII, which means that it has seven electrons in its outer shell. This means that it is only capable of forming single bonds.
Does BiF3 have a ionic or covalent bond?
An ionic bond takes place when one atom gives up an electron to another atom in order to have a stable valence. Whereas covalent bonds share electrons to sustain a stable valence. The Bohr diagram for Bismuth would be: Bi)2e-)8e-)18e-)32e-)18e-)5e- & Fluorine would be: F)2e-)7e- The valence for Bismuth has 5 electrons and Fluorine has 7 electrons, hence Bismuth requires 3 more electrons and Fluorine needs 1 more electron to become an octet. Therefore, to balance BiF3: for one Bismuth atom you will need 3 Fluorine atoms attached, both atoms will share the electrons to satisfy a complete octet in the valence for both atoms.
How many electrons would an atom of magnesium have to lose to have a stable octe?
It'll have to lose two to have a stable octet.
How many electrons would be required to make an oxygen atom stable?
It must gain 2 electrons to become stable then it would have a charge of -2 and be iso-electronic with Neon.
What type of atom is an atom with 9 protons 9 neutrons and 10 electrons?
It isn't an atom, it would actually be a stable Fluorine Ion with a -1 charge.
Would lithium combine with fluorine make an ionic compound?
Yes, definitely. It would form LiF, or Lithium fluoride. Lithium is a metal with 1 extra electron that it needs to lose to become stable and Fluorine is a nonmetal with 7 electrons so it needs to gain 1 more to fill its valence electron shell and complete its octet. Lithium loses its electron to Fluorine and this creates an ionic bond.
What would happened to a stable nucleus in which the number of neutrons suddenly decreased?
The nucleus would become unstable because you need a certain amount of neutrons, electrons, and protons for it to be stable.
Why does argon not form ions?
Atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration of electrons, which is stable. Argon already has such a configuration and is very stable as it is. Any gain or loss of electrons would make it less stable.
Do oxygen compounds become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen has six valence electrons, which means that it needs to gain two to become stable. it takes much more energy for oxygen to lose its 6 valence electrons than it would be to gain 2. When atoms form compounds, they become stable.
If all element had atoms with a stable number of electrons what effect would this have a chemical reaction?
Chemical Reactions would not exist, since unstable electrons are needed to start a Chemical Reaction, All the molecules would be stable, so they would not need to undergo change to become more stable.
In order to become a chemically stable ion a neutral atom of calcium will?
It would have to lose two electrons.
