0 as it is a molecule of fluorine if anything is combined with fluorine then it has an oxidation number of -1
No. Fluorine has only two oxidation states. 0 in F2 and -1 in fluoride ion
The oxidation number for the ion fluoride Fl- is always -1 in compounds. If you meant the element fluorine F2, then the oxidation number is 0.
Fluorine forms a molecule consisting of two fluorine atoms, which is symbolized as F2.
The oxidation number of F, or Fluorine, is F-1. Since it is in the seventh group on the periodic table, it has seven valence electrons. It needs to get eight valence electrons to be stable, so it will gain one electron.

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.
The oxidation number of F, or Fluorine, is F-1. Since it is in the seventh group on the periodic table, it has seven valence electrons. It needs to get eight valence electrons to be stable, so it will gain one electron.
To calculate the oxidation state of fluorine in O2F2, first draw a diagram of the molecule: F-O-O-F Determine the most electronegative atom(s), which are fluorines -- the most electronegative atom there is. Being in the group 7A, a fluoride ion would gain an electron to a -1 charge, so each has an oxidation number of -1. The oxygens, therefore, have an oxidation number of +1 each.
No, fluorine F2 is a homonuclear molecule so there is no difference in electronegativity. This means that fluorine is a nonpolar compound.
F2 is the chemical symbol of the diatomic molecule of fluorine.F is the chemical symbol of the atom of fluorine.
The chemical symbol (not formula) of fluorine atom is F; the molecule is F2.
Fluorine (atomic symbol F) is an element. In its pure form it is a gas: F2, a diatomic molecule.
Fluorine is an element, the symbol F would indicate its atomic form not a molecule, the symbol F2 would indicate its diatomic molecular form. Fluorine gas is the F2 diatomic molecular form not F.
