Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. 2 In the first electron shell, and 5 in the second electron shell.

Both fluorine and chlorine have seven valence electrons. In the case of fluorine they're in n=2 and in the case of fluorine they're in n=3, but other than that they're the same.
I believe you are talking about fluorine. If you are, F needs one more electron to gain a full shell.If you go to WikiAnswers for this information, that is counterproductive, because there is a much better way to do it. Look at the periodic table. Groups IA through VIIIA tell you what you need to know. IA has one valence electron, IIA has two valence electrons etc. Fluorine is in group VIIA and therefore has seven valence electrons. All atoms want eight, and thus fluorine is in need of one more.
Fluorine is a chemical element in the halogen group. It's electron structure is 1s2 2s2 2p5. That means that it has 6 valence electrons.
Any element in the halogen group will have seven valence electrons. These elements include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

The valency of fluorine is 1. It typically forms one bond by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer electron shell.
A fluorine atom can accommodate one more electron in its valence shell to achieve a full valence shell 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.
I believe there is 8 electrons in the outer valence
For fluorine to become stable, it needs to gain one electron to attain a full valence shell, similar to the electron configuration of neon. Fluorine has seven valence electrons in its outer shell, so gaining one electron would fill its outer shell and make it stable with a full octet like neon.
this is because a fluorine ion is one electron short of a full valence shell,which makes getting another electron to fill the shell very favourable,filling the shell makes the molecule much more stable
