Do hydrogen bonds REsult from the loss of neutrons by an atom?

Hydrogen bond doesn't involve neutrons. A hydrogen bond is the electromagnetic attractive interaction of a polar hydrogen atom in a molecule or chemical group and an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine, from another molecule or chemical group.

What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?

A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?


What chemical properties mostly would fluorine have?

Fluorine is the most reactive nonmetal.


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.

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'.
