From looking at the chart of the nuclides, you can determine that Fluorine has a total of 13 isotopes (F-15 through F-27). Only one of Fluorine's isotopes is stable (F-19) and makes up 100% of the naturally occurring fluorine. The other 12 Fluorine isotopes are all radioactive and have half lives ranging from 5 x 10E-22 seconds (F-15) to 1.83 hours (F-18).

How is a fluorine isotope different from a fluorine ion how are they the same?

The fluorine isotope differs from the fluorine ion because the fluorine isotope has a different number of neutrons from normal, while the ion has a different number of electrons. An isotope will have the same number of electrons as its atomic number (the number of protons), while the ion will add (more common in the case of fluorine) or subtract (very rare in the case of fluorine) electrons to the atom. The only thing they are similar in is the number of protons they have, which are the same.


Mass number of most common isotope of fluorine?

Almost all fluorine isotopes are Fluorine-19, which have 10 neutrons. Only trace amounts of Fluorine-18 can be found in nature.


What is the atomic number for fluorine17?

The atomic number for any isotope of fluorine is always 9; that is the "definition" of fluorine.


What is the isotope symbol for fluorine with 9 neutrons?

The isotope symbol for fluorine with 9 neutrons is ^18F, where 18 is the atomic mass number (protons + neutrons) and F is the chemical symbol for fluorine.


What is the number of electrons and neutrons in fluorine?

In a neutral atom of fluorine, there are 9 electrons. The number of neutrons varies with an isotope's mass number.


What is the number of neutron of fluorine?

The only stable isotope has 10 neutrons


What element is a gas and has a mass number of 19?

The fluorine-19 isotope.


What element has 19 mass number?

Fluorine (F), the isotope 19F.


How many protons and electrons are found in fluorine negative?

The atomic number of fluorine is 9. So there are 9 protons and 9 electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope. F-19 isotope has 10 neutrons.


How many neutrons protons and electrons in fluorine?

The atomic number of fluorine is 9. So it has 9 protons and 9 electrons. Number of neutrons depends on the isotope. Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number F-19 has 10 neutrons


What chemical symbol for fluorine isotope with 9 neutrons?

The chemical symbol for fluorine isotope with 9 neutrons is 18F (18 is a superscript).


How many protons electrons and neutrons are in the element fluorine?

The number of protons is the same as the atomic number, which is nine in this case. If the atom is neutral, then the number of electrons will balance the number of protons, also nine in this case. Usually, the number of neutrons will vary with the isotope (atoms with a different number of neutrons) however, fluorine has only one natural isotope, 18F, with nine neutrons.See link below for more information on fluorine, as well as the related question below that will show you how to find the number of each subatomic particle in any atom.
