Fluorine tends to gain electrons
The Halide gasses (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine etc. ) because they only need to gain 1 electron to fill its outermost energy level.
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 highly electronegative, meaning it has a strong attraction for electrons. As a result, when fluorine forms compounds, it tends to gain an electron to achieve a full outer shell, leading to an oxidation state of -1. This consistent oxidation state of -1 for fluorine arises from its strong tendency to gain electrons in chemical reactions.
Fluorine require only one electron to fill its outer shell. Hence it has the greatest tendency to gain electrons than Al, Rb and I.
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.

They will loose electrons.
Metals lose electrons, nonmetals gain electrons.
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 should gain 1 more electron.
It gains three, loses five, or shares pairs of electrons
One, and only one.
