Fluorine decreases in size when it becomes an ion.
Fluoride Ion
A fluorine atom changes into a fluoride ion by gaining one electron and developing a 1- charge.
NO!!! Fluorine is an elemental gas , with the formula of 'F2'. Structurally (F-F ). However it does form the ion , the fluoride ion , 'F^-'.
Fluorine gains one electron to form a fluoride ion.
If the ion is the most common anion of fluorine, a fluoride ion, it contains 10 electrons.
Fluorine element is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. ( F-F) The fluoride ion is 'F^-' . (NB The fluorine ion is named as 'Fluoride'.
The fluorine isotope differs from the fluorine ion because the fluorine isotope has a different number of neutrons from normal, while the ion has a different number of electrons. An isotope will have the same number of electrons as its atomic number (the number of protons), while the ion will add (more common in the case of fluorine) or subtract (very rare in the case of fluorine) electrons to the atom. The only thing they are similar in is the number of protons they have, which are the same.
-1.
The only possible ion of fluorine is: F-It's called a fluoride ion.
I^- is the most common ion of Iodine.
The most common Selenium ion is Se2- the selenide ion. It is in the same group as oxygen and its most common ion in the oxide ion O2-.
