No, it is a Group 7 element or halogen. This makes it a non metal.

Non metals are often negatively charged. Groups 1, 2 3A and transitions are pretty much considered metal, and have something in common, a positive charge. Fluorine has a -1 charge, it prefers to take an electron to fill it's outer orbital
