Fluorine has the atomic number of 9. This means it has 9 protons in the nuclei of its atoms. So, a neutral fluorine atom would also have 9 electrons.
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.
Fluorine's atomic number is 9. Thus, neutral fluorine has 9 protons and 9 electrons. It's total configuration then is 1s2 2s2 2p5, so its valence configuration is 2s2 2p5.
For a neutral atom, the atomic number is equivalent to the number of protons in its nucleus. This is because in a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged) is balanced by the number of electrons (negatively charged) surrounding the nucleus.
An atom of Fluorine has the atomic number 9 and the mass number 19 (rounded up). This means it has 9 electrons, 9 protons and (19-9) 10 neutrons. The proton and electron count are taken from the atomic number. The mass number - the atomic number gives the number of neutrons.
Fluorine is the group 17, period 2, halogen. Thus, its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p5. So, as you can see, there are 5 electrons is fluorine's 2p subshell.
The total number of electrons in a neutral fluorine atom is 9, which is the atomic number of fluorine.
Fluorine has 9 in total. 7 in the outermost shell
nine
in a normal F- ion there are 10 electrons total (but 8 in the outer energy level)
The total charge of atoms is equal to the number of positive protons balanced by the total number of negative electrons in a neutral atom which balances the number of electrons.
The number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number. That gives you the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass has nothing to do with it. What is the atomic number? That is your answer.
No, fluorine has nine electrons total and seven valence electrons.
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.
Fluorine's atomic number is 9. Thus, neutral fluorine has 9 protons and 9 electrons. It's total configuration then is 1s2 2s2 2p5, so its valence configuration is 2s2 2p5.
In a neutral atom the total number of electrons is equal to the number of protons and atomic number.
A neutral potassium atom has 19 electrons.
For a neutral atom, the atomic number is equivalent to the number of protons in its nucleus. This is because in a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged) is balanced by the number of electrons (negatively charged) surrounding the nucleus.
