No, it is a Group 7 element or halogen. This makes it a non metal.
Non metals are often negatively charged. Groups 1, 2 3A and transitions are pretty much considered metal, and have something in common, a positive charge. Fluorine has a -1 charge, it prefers to take an electron to fill it's outer orbital

Is fluorine a metal or non-metal or semi-metal?
Fluorine is a nonmetal and is the first element in group seven of the periodic table which includes Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and the Impossible to examine Astatine. Incidentally to give additional information Fluorine is one of the more dangerous elements as it is able to dissolve glass and an acid made from it hydrofluoric acid is considered extremely corrosive.
How many valence electrons are in a fluorine atom Will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
Is fluorine malleable or brittle?
Since fluorine is a gas, it does not have malleability.
What type of bond is formed between fluorine and silicon?
fluorine and silicon form a perdominately ionic bond. fluorine is a nonmetal and silicon is a metal.
What is fluorine mass number?
Fluorine is a non metal element. Atomic mass of it is 19.
Is fluorine metal or non metal?
Fluorine is a halogen. All of the halogens are nonmetals.
Is fluorine a non metal?
Fluorine is Gas
Does fluorine attract metal?
Fluorine does not attract metal, but it will react readily with most metals.
What is is the most active nonmetal?
Fluorine

Is fluorine a nonmetal metal or transition metal?
Fluorine is a non-metallic yellow poisonous gas .
Is Florine a metal or non metal?
Fluorine is a nonmetal.
Is fluorine a metal nonmetalor andor metaloid?
Fluorine is a gas under normal conditions- so it is classed as a non-metal.
Is fluorine a metal or non-metal or semi-metal?
Fluorine is a nonmetal and is the first element in group seven of the periodic table which includes Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and the Impossible to examine Astatine. Incidentally to give additional information Fluorine is one of the more dangerous elements as it is able to dissolve glass and an acid made from it hydrofluoric acid is considered extremely corrosive.
Is flourine a metal?
