A neutral atom is uncharged. An ion is an atom with a charge. For an atom to become charged it must lose or gain one [or more] electrons.
A substance can appear in its ionic form only after it is dissolved in water. This is called an aqueous solution. For example, LiF = Li+1(aq) and F-1(aq).
A neutral fluorine atom contains {10 neutrons & } 9 protons and 9 electrons. It shares the Group VII A Periodic Classification , the Halogens , with chlorine, bromine, iodine and 3 others. This Group forms negative ions. Its members are (in terms of chemical bonding) HAPPIEST when they accept an electron, seeking to create a [shared pairing of electrons] chemical bond and become neutrally bound to an atom that is (in water) a positive ion.
The most common occurrence of Halogen (-ve 1) chemical bonding is with the Group I A elements , the Alkali metals (+ve 1) , lithium, sodium and potassium being the first three of the Group. Any combination of elements of these two Groups are commonly known as the salts.
So the fluorine atom in question, as a solid, shares its crystalline form with either a Group I A or Group II A atom.
The first thing that happens to the atom after it is mixed with water is that it becomes an ion. After this, Fluorine -1 (aq) is available to accept one electron from any atom that has one to spare, forming a shared-electron chemical bond.

What is the purpose for the arrow between the reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
it acts as an equal sign --> is the same thing as = in a chemical reaction. Or perhaps better is interpreted as 'becomes' and indicates the direction of the reaction.
When water and concrete mix are combined the material becomes warm and a hard solid forms so Is this a physical change or a chemical change?
The reaction between water and concrete is a chemical change because new substances are formed as a result of the mixing process. In this case, the components of the concrete react with the water to form a new compound that hardens into a solid material through a chemical reaction.
Why the compounds of fluorine with oxygen are called fluorides of oxygen and not oxides of fluorine?
As fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, fluorine acts as the electron acceptor in the compounds with oxygen. As fluorine becomes partially negative charged and positive for oxygen, they are called fluorides.
Is dissolving zinc in acid a physical or chemical property?
Dissolving zinc in acid is a chemical property because it involves a chemical reaction between the zinc and the acid, resulting in the formation of new substances (zinc ions and hydrogen gas) with different properties than the original zinc metal.
Is the compression of oxygen gas a chemical reaction?
We do not generally consider the compression of oxygen as anything but a physical reaction. No and yes. Not initially, as most people would consider this to be a thermodynamic problem; no molecules are forming or being unformed. As pressure increases, though, it can trigger chemical reactions (though the compression itself is not one). As pressure becomes very high, it can become a nuclear reaction, and at extremes, revert to quark matter, and other forms of quantum phenomena.
How do cars run on chemical reaction?
Your car runs on a chemical reaction because the combustion of gas is actually a chemical reaction. As the fuel turns to a spark or flame, the reaction becomes chemical
When a chemical reaction takes in more energy than it gives off it becomes what?
When a chemical reaction takes in more energy than it gives off, it becomes an endothermic reaction. In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings in the form of heat.
How does ionic bonding occur in sodium flouride?
Ionic bonding in sodium fluoride occurs when sodium, a metal, transfers one electron to fluorine, a nonmetal. Sodium becomes a positively charged cation, while fluorine becomes a negatively charged anion. The opposite charges between the two atoms attracts them to each other and forms an ionic bond.
Definition for chemical property?
chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction
How can you tell a chemical reaction is losing heat?
The apparatus becomes hot.
What occurs when heated water becomes water vapor?
A chemical reaction
When you fry an egg and it becomes solid is that a chemical reaction?
Yes, frying an egg is an example of a chemical change that is the result of chemical reactions.
When liquid becomes a water vapor is that a chemical reaction?
no. chemical reaction requires a new substance to be created
When two chemicals are involved in a chemical reaction do they create a different element?
It is no longer an element but it becomes a compound. And becomes what is known as a mixture.
What kind of reactrion is Ni F2 NiF2?
This is a redox reaction. Since we have the following reaction: Ni + F2 --> Ni2+ + 2F- which is equivalent to (NiF2) The oxidation state of nickel increases by 2 - it is oxidized (Oxidation Is Loss: OIL) . The oxidation state of fluorine atoms decreases by 1, they are reduced (Reduction Is Gain: RIG).
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
What is the purpose for the arrow between the reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
it acts as an equal sign --> is the same thing as = in a chemical reaction. Or perhaps better is interpreted as 'becomes' and indicates the direction of the reaction.
