A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in total. In its second shell, fluorine will have a maximum of 8 electrons, but since it has 7 electrons already in the first shell, it will only have 1 electron in the second shell.

How many number of electron shells does fluorine atom have?

A fluorine atom has 2 electron shells. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, giving a total of 10 electrons for a fluorine atom.


What is the name of electrons in the outermost shell that an atom can gain lose or share with another atom?

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?


How many more electrons can fit in the valence shell of a fluorine atom?

A fluorine atom can accommodate one more electron in its valence shell to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons.


How many electrons does fluorine have?

Fluorine has 9 in total. 7 in the outermost shell


In a molecule of fluorine the two shared electrons give each fluorine atom how many electrons?

In a molecule of fluorine (F2), each fluorine atom shares one electron with the other, so each fluorine atom has a total of 8 electrons, with 7 of them in the outer shell.


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.


How many electrons are needed to complete valence shell of fluorine atom?

Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell, and it needs 1 more electron to complete its valence shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons.


How many more electrons can fit within the valence shell of a fluorine atom?

The valence shell of a fluorine atom can hold a total of 8 electrons. Fluorine already has 7 electrons in its valence shell, so it can accommodate only 1 more electron to complete its octet and achieve a stable electron configuration.


What is the number of electrons that can occupy the second shell of an atom?

The second shell can hold eight electrons.


How many unpaired electrons does Florine have?

A fluorine atom has seven unshared electrons in its outer most shell (valence shell).


In what shell do valence electrons locate in?

Valence electrons of any atom are located in the outermost shell that atom carries electrons. For example a carbon atom has 6 electrons: 2e in its first shell (which is full) and 4e (valence electrons) in second shell--there are no electrons farther than second shell for carbon.
