lithium donates the electron in its outer orbital to fluorine which then has a completed outer shell
Calcium lose two electrons, fluorine gain an electron.
Many elements can form an ionic bond with fluorine. Metals in groups one and two (such as alkali metals lithium, sodium, potassium, etc. or alkali earth metals like magnesium or calcium) like to form ionic compounds with fluorine. This is because fluorine has an extra electron it wants to give away, and metals in group one and two want another electron to become stable.
flourine must gain one electron
fluorine stable fluorine diatomic is unstable
Fluorine will gain one electron to form F- (or fluoride) ion. Fluoride ion has a charge of -1.
Potassium only needs to lose on electron (gain a positive charge) to have the same electron structure as Argon and thus very stable. Similarly, fluorine only needs to gain one electron (become negatively charged) to gain the very stable Neon structure.
Yes, definitely. It would form LiF, or Lithium fluoride. Lithium is a metal with 1 extra electron that it needs to lose to become stable and Fluorine is a nonmetal with 7 electrons so it needs to gain 1 more to fill its valence electron shell and complete its octet. Lithium loses its electron to Fluorine and this creates an ionic bond.
To become more stable, fluorine is most likely to gain 1 electron and form F- ion.
So it can become stable
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. In order to become stable, Florine will share 1 electron with another atom to get 8 electron and become stable.

Fluorine is a stable element.yes.
Ionic bond.

Fluorine is not stable. It has 7 valence electrons, and will therefore partake in chemical reactions.
