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.

What happens when a potassium atom and a fluorine atom combine to form a pair of ions?
Potassium (K) has 1 valence electron which is loses to become K^+. Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and picks up the 1 electron lost by K, and it becomes F^-. They attract each other to become KF.
How many valance electrons do fluorine and chlorine have?
Since fluorine and chlorine are in family 7A, they each have 7 valence electrons. The number of the family corresponds to the number of valence electrons.
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.
What is phosphorus trifluoride made up of?
Phosphorus and fluorine. Each phosphorus atom is bonded to three fluorine atoms.
What is the correct formula for aluminum and fluorine form a compound in which the aluminum to fluorine ratio is?
Aluminum fluoride is AlF3. It has 3 fluorine atoms for each aluminum atom.
What happens when a potassium atom and a fluorine atom combine to form a pair of ions?
Potassium (K) has 1 valence electron which is loses to become K^+. Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and picks up the 1 electron lost by K, and it becomes F^-. They attract each other to become KF.
How many valence electrons are transferred from the calcium atom to iodine in the formatoin of the compound calcium iodide?
during the formation of calcium iodide,calcium donates two of its +ve ions each to a fluorine atom(2 in number) thereby making its octet and also fulfills the octet formation of each of fluorine atom..
What is the Lewis dot structure for NF3?
First draw an N for the nitrogen atom. Off of that, there are three dashes, each connected to one F, for each fluorine atom. Finally, on all non connected sides of each atom, there are two dots representing unshared valence electrons.
How many valance electrons do fluorine and chlorine have?
Since fluorine and chlorine are in family 7A, they each have 7 valence electrons. The number of the family corresponds to the number of valence electrons.

What is total number of valence electrons for siH4?
A silicon atom has 4 valence electrons and each hydrogen atom has one valence electron, for a total of 8.
In a molecule of fluorine the two shared electrons give each fluorine atom how many electrons?
8
How many proton's does fluorine have?
Each fluorine atom has 9 protons.
How many valence electrons does each atom of nitrogen have?
Nitrogen has five valence electrons.
How many molecules total do nf3 has around the central atom?
In NF3, the Nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons and each Fluorine atom shares 1 more electron with Nitrogen. That makes 8 electrons (4 pairs of electrons) around Nitrogen. Betweent the four electron pairs, 3 pairs are bonded with Fluorine and the other one is a lone pair. Therefore around the central atom Nitrogen, there are three Fluorine atoms and a lone electron pair.
What does each dot in an electron-dot diagram represent?
each dot in an electron-dot diagram represents valence electrons or "available" electrons of each element. For example, Oxygen has 6 valence electrons so it has six dots around it. The number of valence electrons are found at the top of each group on the periodic table. Nitrogen has 5, Oxygen 6, Fluorine has 7...and so on! hope this helps
What is phosphorus trifluoride made up of?
Phosphorus and fluorine. Each phosphorus atom is bonded to three fluorine atoms.
