Best Answer

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9. This means there are 9 protons in the nucleus. Most fluorine around the world has 10 neutrons in the nucleus (mass number of 19).

There will be an equal number of electrons as protons in a normal atom, so 9 electrons. Electrons are arranged with 2 in the first layer closest to the nucleus and 7 in the second layer.

Fluorine is in Group 7A, so it has 7 valence electrons.

The 1s and 2s orbitals are full, but the 2p orbital only has one electron in each subshell.

2p x x x

2s xx

1s xx
