The atomic number determines how many protons and electrons an atom has. Flourine's atomic number is 9 so there are 9 protons and electrons. Energy levels of atoms can only hold a maximum number of electrons per enegery level. The first energy level (s) holds 2 electrons. The second level (p) holds a maximum of 8 electrons because s has two and p has 6. So, Flourine's energy levels would be as follows: 1s2, 2s2 2p5 Energy levels need even pairs to be stable, so Flourine tends to gain only one electron because that is all that is needed for 2p5 to be filled to its maximum capacity. It is easier for an atom to gain one electron than give up 5.
A fluorine atom will typically gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration by filling its outer shell with a total of 8 electrons. This results in a fluorine ion with a negative charge, known as fluoride.
Fluorine is likely to gain one electron to achieve a full outer shell and attain stability. This gives it a negative charge as it gains an extra electron.
One electron is lost when a lithium atom forms a compound with fluorine atoms, as lithium has 1 valence electron and fluorine can gain one electron to achieve a full outer shell.
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and needs 1 more to achieve a stable octet configuration. It is easier for fluorine to gain 1 electron rather than lose 7 to complete its valence shell, making it more favorable for it to gain one electron.
Each fluorine atom gains one negative charge when it accepts an additional electron to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.
A fluorine atom will typically gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration by filling its outer shell with a total of 8 electrons. This results in a fluorine ion with a negative charge, known as fluoride.
Even though Fluorine has the highest electronegativity among all the elements and it should have the highest electron gain enthalpy among all the halogens but this is an exception and chlorine has higher electron gain enthalpy than Fluorine. The reason for this is that the size of Fluorine atom is very small and hence there is very high inter-electronic repulsion among the electrons of fluorine. This makes incoming of another electron not very favourable. Even though fluorine has large negative electron gain enthalpy but for chlorine its even more negative.

A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and needs 1 more to achieve a stable octet configuration. It is easier for fluorine to gain 1 electron rather than lose 7 to complete its valence shell, making it more favorable for it to gain one electron.
Each fluorine atom gains one negative charge when it accepts an additional electron to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.
Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom.
It should be Fluorine but Chlorine has most EGE value because the F atom has very small sizeas compared to Cl. Addition of extra electron creates higher electron density and thus strong electron - electron repulsion comes into act. So extra electron is not accepted with the same ease as in the case of remaining elements of the group
Aluminum, sulfur, fluorine, phosphorus, iodine, and neon
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
A fluorine ion (F-) is commonly found in nature because it has gained an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, forming a stable ionic bond with other elements. A neutral fluorine atom is highly reactive due to its strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable configuration, making it rare in its uncombined state in nature.
