When a fluorine atom has seven electrons in its outer shell is it an ion with a plus or minus charge?
A fluorine atom that has seven electrons in its outer shell would be neutral. A negatively charged fluoride ion, Fl-, forms when a fluorine atom gains one electron so that it has an octet, or a noble gas configuration of electrons.
In the compound sodium fluoride NaF thev sodium atom loses one electron and the fluorine atom gains one electron to form ions that have electrons configurations similar to?
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
What happens to an atom of fluorine F when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
It accepts one electron.
What happens to bromine when bromine atom gains an electron and forms the bromide ion Br -?
Bromine becomes basic.
Why did the fluorine atom 'want' to gain a valence electron?
this is because a fluorine ion is one electron short of a full valence shell,which makes getting another electron to fill the shell very favourable,filling the shell makes the molecule much more stable
When a fluorine atom gains an electron it form a?
hmm
What does an atom do when it gains an electron?
it forms an ionic bond with the atom it has received an electron from.
What happens to an atom of fluorine when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as neon?
A fluorine atom gains one atom in order to achieve the same electron configuration as neon. In doing so, the fluorine atom forms a fluoride ion with a 1- charge with the formula F-. As a negatively charged ion, it can form ionic bonds with various positively charged ions.
What kind of bond forms when an atom loses or gains an electron?
no

In the compound sodium fluoride NaF the sodium atom loses one electron and the fluorine atom gains one electron to form ions that have electron configurations similar to?
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
The element fluorine has 9 electrons which is the electron configuration for an atom of fluorine?
The electron configuration for an atom of fluorine is [He]2s2.2p5.
When an atom gains an electron or more it directly becomes negative ion?
True. An atom that gains one or more electrons forms a negative ion.
In the compound sodium fluoride NaF thev sodium atom loses one electron and the fluorine atom gains one electron to form ions that have electrons configurations similar to?
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
What forms when an atom has lost or gained electrons?
When an atom looses an electron is called "a cation, when gains is called an "anion".
What happens to an atom of fluorine when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
It accepts one electron.
An atom that gains electrons and therefore forms a negative ion is known as a?
If an atom gains an electron it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion. A ion has a single atom which is atomic or monatomic.
