How many valence electrons does an atom of any halogen have?

A halogen is located in group 17 of the periodic table, so the electron configuration for the valance electron would be ns2np5 (n=energy level). So all halogens have 7 valance electrons.

Why does fluorine atom atom tend to gain only one electron?

It has 7 electrons in its valance shell so it needs only 1 electron to form a octet; the Nobel gas configuration.


What happens in the combination of sodium and chlorine to yield table salt?

A sodium atom has one valance electron which it donates to a chlorine atom which has seven valance electrons; as a result of this electron exchange, both the sodium and the chlorine will then have complete outer electron shells, and they also will both become electrically charged ions which will attract each other.
