What molecule is fluorine gas?
Fluorine forms a molecule consisting of two fluorine atoms, which is symbolized as F2.
Why are fluorine atoms held together in a fluorine molecule?
intermolecular forces
What charges does a polar molecule have on opposite ends?
A polar molecule doesn't necessarily have any overall charge. All polar means is that one part of the molecule has a negative charge and another part of the same molecule has a positive charge. These charges balance. When the charges don't balance and there is a net charge, it is referred to as an ion. An example of a polar molecule is fluoro-methane, or CH3F. The fluorine attracts the electrons in the bond a lot harder than carbon. so the fluorine has a negative charge while the carbon atom ends up with a positive charge.
How many elements are in a fluorine atom?
Fluorine is an element, s an atom of fluorine contains only one element - fluorine. However, the fluorine molecule consists of two atoms of fluorine.
What is the two bonded fluorine atoms that form a neutral particle called?
A fluorine molecule
What molecule is fluorine gas?

Because the electrons in a molecule of hydrogen fluoride (HF) are more strongly pulled toward the fluorine atom the molecule is nonpolar.?
That statement is incorrect. HF is a polar molecule because fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing the electron density to be pulled closer to the fluorine atom. As a result, HF has a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge on the fluorine atom.
Why is a fluorine molecule not a polar molecule?
In a molecule of water, you have a bunch of unshared electrons on the oxygen side of the molecule (the negative end) and no electrons and two hydrogen nuclei on the hydrogen end (the positive end.) This makes for very strong polarity, since a positive end and a negative end can be thought of as poles. Fluorine, on the other hand, is a diatomic element consisting of two fluorine atoms covalently bonded together. This means each of the two fluorine atoms contribute one electron to the bond. The remaining six from each atom are on the other side of the molecule from the bond. Six on one side and six on the other means no difference in charge across the length of the molecule, so there are no poles.

Is fluorine molecule polar molecule?
No. Fluorine is an element. Two atoms of the same element will not form a polar bond because there is no difference in electronegativity.

Is F2 liquid is element or molecule?
If you mean F2 (fluorine), it is a diatomic molecule of the element fluorine. It's the common form of pure fluorine, since the halogen elements are all diatomic molecules.

What is a neutral particle called that is formed by two bonded fluorine atoms?
A fluorine molecule
What is the two bonded fluorine atoms that form a neutral particle called?
A fluorine molecule
