Every fluoride ion contains 9 protons. The only common ion of fluorine has a single negative charge, indicating that it contains one more electron than proton, or 10 electrons. The number of neutrons is the mass number minus the atomic number (same as the number of protons). The most common isotope of fluorine is F-19, which contains 19 - 9 = 10 neutrons.

∙ 14y agoA fluoride ion is a fluorine atom with one extra electron that it has borrowed from some other atom. It turns out that every fluorine atom has 9 protons, and all fluorine ions, which are F- ions, will have 9 protons as well. Proton count does not vary among atoms of a given element, regardless of whether or not they are neutral atoms or ions of any kind.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThe atomic number of fluorine is 9; therefore, a fluorine atom contains 9 protons, and all of them are retained in a fluoride ion.

How many electoronsneutrons and protons dose rubidium have?
protons-37neutrons-48electrons-37
How many protons dose atoms have?
whatever the number of the element on the periodic table is
How many protons electrons and neutrons dose calcium have?
Calcium has 20 protons and electrons and a variable number of neutrons, depending on the isotope.
Is there another mineral that can be used if fluorite runs out?
Probably not. Fluoride works for very specific reasons that are unique to the number of protons and electrons it has(that number is what makes fluoride, fluoride). So it's unlikely that anything else could substitute.
How many protons and neutrons are in florine?
no of proton is 9 and no of neutrons is also 9.
How many protons in lithium fluoride molecule?
lithium has 3 protons flouride has 9 protons so total of 12 protons in LiF.
How many protons dose polonium have?
Polonium has 84 protons.
How many protons dose curium have?
Curium has 96 protons.
How can demineralization be prevented?
With a prescription of high-dose fluoride gel. Ask your dentist what high-dose fluoride gel is.
How many electoronsneutrons and protons dose rubidium have?
protons-37neutrons-48electrons-37
How many protons and electrons dose Na plus have?
11 protons and 10 electrons
If an elements atomic number is directly related to the number of protons on the nucleus. What should you say about Fluoride?
That means fluoride would have 9 protons in its nucleus
How many protons electrons and neutrons dose tantalum have?
Tantalum has 73 protons and electrons and its isotopes have 108 or 107 neutrons.
How many protons dose atoms have?
whatever the number of the element on the periodic table is
How many protons electrons and neutrons dose calcium have?
Calcium has 20 protons and electrons and a variable number of neutrons, depending on the isotope.
How many electrons dose a chlorine atom have?
The chlorine atom has 17 protons and electrons.
How many protons dose a atom have?
The number of protons in an atom is different for every element. If you look at the periodic table, then the number labeled "atomic number" is the number of protons.
