When fluorine bonds with another element the electrons do what?

Fluorine has a stronger attraction to electrons than any other element, so when it bonds to another element that element is going to either donate electrons to the fluorine, or share electrons with fluorine getting the disproportionate share.

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
What element has the greatest electronegativity?
Fluorine... by far. Its so electronegative that it will never form double bonds, even if they would make sense by the octet rule. BF3 is a really good example of this
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.
What bond involves the gain and loss of electrons?
Ionic bonds involve an element gaining an electron and an element losing an electron.Ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds in that covalent bonds cause elements to "share" electrons, while in ionic bonds there is a distinct transfer of electrons.Ionic Bond.
What bonds involve sharing of electrons between atoms?
A covalent bond is a bond that involves atoms to share electrons. When the shared electrons are not shared evenly, it is called a polar bond. When electrons are shared evenly, it is called nonpolar bond. Note that the only completely nonpolar bonds are bonds between atom of the same element.
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
How many valence electrons 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
Fluorine is the most electronegative element therefore when it forms bonds with another element the electrons are?
more likely to be pulled towards the fluorine atom. This results in a polar covalent bond, with the fluorine atom having a partial negative charge and the other element having a partial positive charge.
What elements bond with fluorine?
the element that fluorine bonds with are nitrogen, oxygen, and many more
What does an element that forms an anion do?
When the element bonds with another element it accepts electrons (it does not give them away) and becomes negatively charged.
Which element will most likely form covalent bonds with fluorine?
Potassium
What is the Lewis structue of PF3?
Three fluorine atoms extend from a central phosphorus. The three bonds are single bonds and each fluorine has three sets of two paired electrons. Phosphorous has an additional set of paired electrons.
What element has the greatest electronegativity?
Fluorine... by far. Its so electronegative that it will never form double bonds, even if they would make sense by the octet rule. BF3 is a really good example of this
If calcium has two valence electrons and fluorine has seven how many fluorine atoms are needed to form an ionic bonds with calcium?
two
What compounds of molecules that have bonds containing shared electrons?
O2, N2, F2, and any molecule that contains an element with atomic number 11 or higher.
An element that lends electrons in chemical reactions?
bonds
When does an ionic bond happen?
when an element donate it's electrons and another element acceps it,in order to complete the octet electronic configuration,ionic bonds are formed
