You would get, of course, either lead or mercury
Fluorine is a nonmetal. It is located in group 17 of the periodic table. It tends to obtain an electron to form the fluoride ion.Fluorine is the element with highest electronegativity. So it does not tend to lose electrons. It is in the 17th group of the periodic table.
Ionic compounds obtain a stable electron configuration by transferring electrons from one atom to another to achieve a full outer shell. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of positive and negative ions that are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, creating a stable compound.
To obtain an element from its compound ore, the ore must undergo a process called extraction. This typically involves crushing the ore, heating it to high temperatures, and then using chemical reactions or other separation techniques to isolate the desired element in its pure form. The extracted element can then be further processed and refined as needed.
Einsteinium is a synthetic element and is not found naturally on Earth. It can only be produced in a laboratory by bombarding other elements with neutrons. It is not readily available due to its high radioactivity and limited production.
The alkali metals need to lose just one electron in order to obtain a stable electron arrangement, and the halogens need to gain just one electron in order to obtain a stable electron arrangement, so they are both very close to stability and therefore react very readily. Elements which need to either lose or gain a larger number of electrons have a harder time doing so, because the stability of a full outer shell is countered by the instability that results from having too much of a net electric charge. If an element needs to gain more than one electron in order to have a full outer shell, the first electron is relatively easy, but that atom then has a negative charge which repells other electrons event though it still needs more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Chlorine is an element from group 17. It needs one electron from another atom to obtain the stable electron configuration. In ionic compounds it becomes the chloride ion with -1 charge.
Group 17 elements are non metals. Any element in group 17 are ready to obtain its stable electron configuration by sharing an electron with another non metal for a bond. Two examples are gaseous chlorine and iodine fluoride.
Ag is the element Silver. Ag has more electrons than Ag+as for the element to become positively charged through a process called oxidation in which Ag has given up an electron to another element in order to obtain a positive charge. Another way to look at it is the "+" indicates a loss of a negatively charged particle which, in this case, is an electron. Proper Half-Reaction: Ag+ + e- ---> Ag
Chlorine atom has 17 electrons. It is readily accepting an electron from another atom to obtain its stable electron configuration (of argon). A chloride ion has 18 electrons.
You can achieve a stable electron configuration by using two electrons by forming a covalent bond with another atom that also has two valence electrons. In this way, each atom can share its valence electrons to achieve a full outer shell and achieve stability.
Hydrogen wants to obtain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to the noble gas helium.
Sodium is an element which has one electron in its outer electron shell, and which can obtain a more stable electron configuration by getting rid of that electron. This causes it to undergo chemical reactions with other elements such as oxygen or chlorine, which need to acquire electrons in order to obtain a more stable electron configuration. If sodium reacts with water, it is reacting with the oxygen in the water molecule. In the case of sodium chloride, the sodium has already reacted with chlorine to form that compound, and has given up its outer electron, so it no longer needs to react with oxygen in water.
Sodium would need to lose one electron in order to obtain a full and stable outer shell, however it would be an ion with a positive charge
== == The valency of an element is the measure of electrons it needs or needs to loose to obtain a stable structure (a noble gas structure, such as helium, neon, argon ...) for example in NaCl, sodium has 11 electrons which means 1 valence electron, chlorine has 17 electrons which means it has -1 valence electrons; so sodium looses 1 electron and chlorine gains that electron so sodium ends up with 10 electrons (Neon's electron structure) and chlorine ends up with 18 electrons (Argon's electron structure) the number of outer electrons. Noble elements are the most stable elements (thats why they don't react well and stay alone, like helium) so all the other elements try to obtain the noble electron structure. Elements usually gain or loose 4 electrons.

The outermost shell in an atom is also known as the valence shell. When an atom is able to donate or obtain electrons to obtain a noble gas electron configuration, it is said to be stable. Generally, metals are electron donors and non metals are electron acceptors.
