It would be -1 because gaining an electron will create a negative charge. F has a high electron affinity and therefore becomes an F- ion quite readily.

A fluorine ion has 9 protons and a charge of 1 How many electrons are in an ion of fluorine?

A fluorine ion with a charge of 1 indicates that it has gained an extra electron, making it a fluoride ion. So, a fluoride ion would have 10 electrons (9 from the protons and 1 extra electron).


Fluorine has an atomic number of 9 What is the symbol and charge for an ion of fluorine that has 10 electrons?

A fluorine ion with atomic number 9 and 10 electrons has a charge of -1 because it has one extra electron as compared to the number of protons (10-9 = 1). Its symbol is F-.


What is an atom that has lost or gained an electron and now carries a positive or negative charge called?

I believe the answer your looking for in an Ion.An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a net positive or negative electrical charge.


What is the number of electrons gained or lost in Fluorine?

Fluorine gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration of a full outer shell.


When fluorine reacts with a metal it forms an F-ion The fluorine atom has gained an electron and undergone?

When fluorine reacts with a metal, it gains an electron to form the fluoride ion (F-). This process is called reduction, as the fluorine atom is gaining electrons.


What happens to an atom of fluorine when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?

It accepts one electron.


Explain the number of protons and electrons if a fluorine ion has a -1 charge?

Fluorine has 7 valence shell electrons. If it has a formal charge of (-1) that means that it has 8 non bonding electrons. Its atomic number is 9 therefore the fluorine anion (F-1) has 8 electrons and 9 protons.


What is the symbol fluorine ion?

The symbol for fluorine as an ion is F-.


What has 9 protons and 10 electrons?

The element that has 9 protons is fluorine. Its atomic number is 9, indicating that the element has 9 protons in the nuclei of its atoms. If there are 10 electrons, then the fluorine atom has gained an electron and is now a negatively charged anion with a charge of 1-.
