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.
The highest energy shell of Fluorine is 2nd shell which contains 7 electrons just like other halogens.
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.
Fluorine has 9 in total. 7 in the outermost shell
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.
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.
The highest energy shell of Fluorine is 2nd shell which contains 7 electrons just like other halogens.
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.
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?
A fluorine atom can accommodate one more electron in its valence shell to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons.
Fluorine has 9 in total. 7 in the outermost shell
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.
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.
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.
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.
The second shell can hold eight electrons.
A fluorine atom has seven unshared electrons in its outer most shell (valence shell).
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.
