Fluorine is a halogen. All halogens have 7 valence electrons. There are thus 7 valence electrons for Fluorine, 2 in the 2s orbital, and 5 in the 2p orbitals.
A fluorine atom can accommodate one more electron in its valence shell to achieve a full valence shell of 8 electrons.
flurine has atomic no. 9 so its electronic configaration is 2,7. Its valance shell has 7 electrons
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
An atom of fluorine has 9 electrons in total. Electrons are equal to protons when the atom isn't an ion, and the number of protons is also the atomic number of the element, so you just need to know the atomic number to find out the number of electrons or protons.

Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell, and it needs 1 more electron to complete its valence shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons.
No, fluorine has nine electrons total and seven valence electrons.
Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. This is because it belongs to Group 17 of the periodic table, also known as the halogens, and follows the octet rule, where it needs one more electron to achieve a stable configuration with 8 electrons in its outer shell.
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.
A Fluorine atom has an atomic number of 9. Draw out the electron shell diagram for Fluorine. Is a Fluorine atom more likely to gain, lose or share electrons to fill its valence shell?
A fluorine atom has seven unshared electrons in its outer most shell (valence shell).
That is correct. Fluorine has seven valence electrons in its outer shell, which is why it typically forms one covalent bond to complete its octet.
Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons. These are the outer-shell electrons that react with other elements.
