How many valence electrons are in a fluorine atom Will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
Is fluorine and fluorine and ionic or covalent bond?
Fluorine by itself is an element. An ionic bond is formed between the attraction of two ions with opposite charges (positive/negative). For Example- NaCl sodium chloride(table salt) Sodium is positively charged and Chlorine is negatively charged. In Covalent bonds, the compound is made by two atoms sharing their valance electrons, or the electrons in the outermost ring, For example H2O(water). There are Two Hydrogen atoms (Hydrogen is in the first group therefor has 1 valance electron) plus one Oxegyn Atom (Oxegyn is found in group eight therfor has 6 valance electrons) They want to have a full outer ring (eight electrons) so this compound works.

Why fluorine exist as a diatomic molecule?
Each fluorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell, but a setup of 8 outer shell electrons (called an octet) is stable. To get this octet a fluorine atom will form a single covalent bond with another fluorine atom. Each atom give one electron to be shared between the two.
How does the carbon atom complete its octet?
it forms covalent bonds by sharing electrons
How many covalent bonds can an atom of fluorine form?
Just one. Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell so sharing an electon with another atom in a covalent bond takes its shell up to 8, the noble gas configuration. The covalent bonds that luorine forms are generally highly polar because of fluorines high electronegativity. This is an example of the "octet" rule.
How many electrons does fluorine have on its outer most shell?
It is in Group 7 on the Periodic table which means it already has 7in its outer shell. The shell needs 8 to be complete so fluorine requires 1 more electron which it gains through ionic or covalent bonding.
Give an example of a covalent compound?
hydrogen molecule (H2) : is single covalent bond where each H atom shares with one electron to complete it's outermost shell (k level) with two electrons and becomes more stable.oxygen molecule (O2) : is a double covalent bond where each (O) atom shares with two electrons to complete its outermost shell (L level) with 8 electrons.nitrogen molecule:is a triple covalent bond where each atom shares with 3 electrons to complete its outermost shell (L level) with 8 electrons and become more stable.
Occur when different atoms share their outermost electrons?
Sharing electrons results in a covalent bond.
Is MgF2 a nonpolar covalent bond?
MgF2 isn't a covalent bond; it is an ionic bond. Magnesium is a metal and Fluorine is a nonmetal, so there is a complete transfer of electrons.

How many valence electrons in a fluorine atom will fluorine atoms form bonds Explain.?
Fluorine has seven electrons. Fluorine will form covalent and ionic bonds. Ionic- If it combines with any metal Covalent- If it bonds with a non-metal
When two atoms share their outermost electrons a is formed?
A covalent bond is formed.
What type of bond shares electrons to fill the outermost energy level?
The sharing of electrons occurs in covalent bonding.
When atoms share electrons to fill their outermost energy levels they form?
Covalent Bonds. :)
How many covalent bonds does oxygen need to fill outer shell?
oxygen contains 6 electrons in its outermost shell contains ,to complete its octet it shares 2 electrons and hence form two covalent bonds(1 sigma and 1 pi bond).
Hydrogen fluoride is ionic or covalent why?
It is covalent as there is not enough of a difference in electronegativity for the fluorine to completely pull the electrons away from hydrogen.
Does argon have ionic or covalent bonds?
no because it is a noble gas which doesn't form any bonds with any other element...due to the complete number of electrons in the outermost shell.
