Fluorine has 7 valence electrons in its outer shell. In order to achieve a full octet, fluorine needs one additional electron to fill its shell. This means that fluorine has 1 bonding electron available to form covalent bonds with other atoms.
Fluorine has 9 in total. 7 in the outermost shell
3 non bonding pairs. Fluorine is in group 17 and has an outer shell configuration of 2s2, 2p5. Just one electron in the fluorine atom is unpaired the other 6 are paired
The atomic number of an element tells you how many electrons there are and how many protons there are.
Methyl fluoride (CH3F) has three bonding pairs of electrons between carbon and hydrogen atoms in the methyl group, and one bonding pair of electrons between carbon and fluorine atoms. Therefore, there are a total of four bonding pairs of electrons in methyl fluoride.
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost unexcited main energy level. This allows fluorine to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons by gaining one additional electron through bonding.

The atomic number of an element tells you how many electrons there are and how many protons there are.
Fluorine has 9 electrons to match its atomic number.
Methyl fluoride (CH3F) has three bonding pairs of electrons between carbon and hydrogen atoms in the methyl group, and one bonding pair of electrons between carbon and fluorine atoms. Therefore, there are a total of four bonding pairs of electrons in methyl fluoride.
A fluorine atom has 7 electrons in its outermost unexcited main energy level. This allows fluorine to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons by gaining one additional electron through bonding.
Since fluorine and chlorine are in family 7A, they each have 7 valence electrons. The number of the family corresponds to the number of valence electrons.
In an uncharged atom, the number of electrons is always equal to the atomic number, in this instance, 9.
The number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number. That gives you the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass has nothing to do with it. What is the atomic number? That is your answer.
Ionic bonding depends on the number of electrons. The number of neutrons is not relevant.
Fluorine has 9 electrons.
In HF, there is one nonbonding electron on the fluorine atom. Hydrogen only has one electron, which is used for bonding with fluorine.
