There are 15 electrons in phosphorus, 45 electrons from five fluorine atoms, and they make 60 electrons altogether.
Valence electrons are involved in bonding to other atoms.
Valence electrons-electrons that are farthest from an atoms nucleus- are the electrons that form bonds with other atoms.
The valence electrons are involved in the chemical bonding of atoms in a molecule.
Atoms gain lose or share valence electrons in a way that makes the atoms more stable

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

A fluorine atom has 7 valance electrons. This can be identified by looking which group fluorine is located, which is group 7. However when the atoms get bigger this rule does not apply so easily.
All halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine) have 7 valence electrons.
I believe you are talking about fluorine. If you are, F needs one more electron to gain a full shell.If you go to WikiAnswers for this information, that is counterproductive, because there is a much better way to do it. Look at the periodic table. Groups IA through VIIIA tell you what you need to know. IA has one valence electron, IIA has two valence electrons etc. Fluorine is in group VIIA and therefore has seven valence electrons. All atoms want eight, and thus fluorine is in need of one more.
valence electrons
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.
The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
