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.


How many electrons are in a fluorine ion?

in a normal F- ion there are 10 electrons total (but 8 in the outer energy level)


How many electons are in the fluorine ion f-1?

Fluorine has atomic number 9, therefore the neutral fluorine atom has 9 electrons. The F-1 ion has 10 electrons.


What is the noble gas equation for fluorine with -1 ion?

F- ion and neon have the same number of electrons.


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-.


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.


How many electrons does fluorine ion have?

9


How many electrons are presents in Fluorine atom?

There are 9 electrons in the atom without a charge, . The Fluorine ion (F -), has 10 electrons.


What is the difference between a Fluoride ion and a Fluorine atom?

The fluoride atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell (9 in total) but the ion of fluorine has any number of electrons in the outer shell. eg. F+ = the normal fluorine atom but with one less electron.


Does a fluorine atom lose electrons when forming a fluorine ion?

Technically yes ... the naming convention is that X ion is the ion you get if you pull electrons off X.However, nothing is electronegative enough to do this to fluorine, so fluorine instead forms fluoride ions by gaining one electron.


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).


What are the total amount of electrons for fluorine?

The total number of electrons in a neutral fluorine atom is 9, which is the atomic number of fluorine.
