It would need to ionize, by combing with another fluoride atom.

Lewis dot diagram for fluorine?
Draw the nucleus. Add three obits or rings. Put 2 electrons in the first orbit (filling it). Put 8 in the second orbit (filling it) and 7 in the third. There should be 8 to fill this but there isn't so chlorine is reactive: "looking" to fill the third orbit.
How many electrons does nitrogen need to fill its outer shell?
One electron is needed.
Electron configuration for fluorine in the excited state?
There are an infinite number of excited states that fluorine's 9 electrons could be in. To write one you simply need to write out the excited state of fluorine and put one of its electrons in a higher energy orbital. F: 1s2 2s2 2p5 F*: 1s2 2s1 2p5 3s1 The latter is just one possible excited state of fluorine.
What is the total number of valence electrons in a fluorine atom you n the ground state?
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.
How many electrons will Fluorine share to make covalent bonds to complete its outermost energy level?
I don't know, will you answer this question, please, i need to know, the truth about this because i need it! Your Answer:
What are some elements on the periodic table that need to give up 2 electrons to have a full outer orbit?
Berilium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium and Radium
How many electrons does fluorine need to satisfy the octet rule?
One
How many more electrons does Fluorine need to have a stable octet?
1
Why standard reduction potential of fluorine is greater than cl2?
Fluorine and chlorine both need to gain electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration of 8 electrons in their outer shell, but fluorine is the smaller atom. As atoms get larger, their ability to attract electrons is reduced and they become more metallic in nature and less nonmetallic, because the outer shells of the electrons are farther from the positively charged nucleus, and even though the nucleus of larger atoms also has a larger positive charge, the increase in charge has less effect than the increase in distance, because charge is a direct proportionality and distance is an inversely squared proportionality. Distance matters more. So fluorine has the greater attraction for electrons, or as you put it, it has the greater reduction potential.
How many additional valance electrons does fluorine need to have a valance shell?
1
Why does magnesium and oxygen form an ionic bond?
Oxygen have 6 electrons on the outer sell so it need 2 more electrons to gain full outer shell. Magnesium have 2 electrons on the outer sell so It have to lose 2 electrons to gain full outer sell. They combine easily by a strong ionic bond. Its formula is MgO, it has no overall charge.

How many electrons are needed to fill carbon outer shell?
Carbon has four valence electrons, so it will need four more electrons to fill its outer shell.
Electrons found in the outer shell or orbital are called?
These electrons are called "outershell electrons" or "valence electrons."
Which element would be most likely to gain electrons in a chemical bond?
That depends on the reaction, and the gain of electrons is refereed to as reduction.
How many valence electrons are needed to achieve a full outer shell?
It depends, most atoms need 8 total valence electrons in their outer shell (some need 2). So subtract the number they have (determined by the group that the element is in) from 8 and that is how many they need to fill their outer shell!
