Why fluorine is stable?
Fluorine is not stable. It has 7 valence electrons, and will therefore partake in chemical reactions.
What does the fluorine atom do to become stable unreactive?
A stable arrangement of electrons in the outer shell is 8, but fluorine has only 7, that is why it is unstable. It needs another electron, desperately. No other element craves electrons as strongly as fluorine does.
Would lithium combine with fluorine make an ionic compound?
Yes, definitely. It would form LiF, or Lithium fluoride. Lithium is a metal with 1 extra electron that it needs to lose to become stable and Fluorine is a nonmetal with 7 electrons so it needs to gain 1 more to fill its valence electron shell and complete its octet. Lithium loses its electron to Fluorine and this creates an ionic bond.
How many more electrons does Fluorine need to have a stable octet?
1
Is fluorines atomic number 9 when its stable?
All isotopes of fluorine, whether they are stable or unstable, have atomic number 9.
Is element fluorine stable?
Fluorine is a stable element.yes.
When comparing the electron configurations of neon and fluorine what must happen for fluorine to become stable?
flourine must gain one electron
Is fluorine a reactive or stable element?
fluorine stable fluorine diatomic is unstable
Why fluorine is stable?
Fluorine is not stable. It has 7 valence electrons, and will therefore partake in chemical reactions.
Is fluorine stable?
Fluorine is not stable. It has 7 valence electrons, and will therefore partake in chemical reactions.
Why does fluorine form bonds with nearly all elements on the periodic table?
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons so it only needs one more to have the 8 it needs to be stable. This makes it very easy for fluorine to bond with almost any other element because it can easily take or share the one it needs.
Why does potassium atom become positively charged and fluorine becomes negatively charged?
Potassium only needs to lose on electron (gain a positive charge) to have the same electron structure as Argon and thus very stable. Similarly, fluorine only needs to gain one electron (become negatively charged) to gain the very stable Neon structure.
How many neutrons does fluorine atom have?
The stable isotope, Fluorine-19, has 10 neutrons.
How many stable isotopes do fluorine have?
one
Which is the most stable out of lithum carbon fluorine and neon?
neon is most stable
To become more stable fluorine is likely to?
To become more stable, fluorine is most likely to gain 1 electron and form F- ion.
Is fluorine stable with an atomic number of nine?
Fluorine is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 9.
