Does fluorine increase or decrease in size when it becomes an ion?
Fluorine decreases in size when it becomes an ion.
What is the usual ion form of fluorine?
Fluoride Ion
How could a fluorine atom change into a fluorine ion?
A fluorine atom changes into a fluoride ion by gaining one electron and developing a 1- charge.
How many electrons does fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion?
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
