Question

Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. Which charge is its ion likely to have?(1 point)

1+

5+

1–

5-

Answer 1

Answer:

1–

Explanation:

The fluorine is the element with biggest electronegativity in the periodic table, so it usually always take an electron and gets charge 1–

Answer 2

The valence electrons that Fluorine possesses is 7. Then, the charge of its ion would most probably be:

C). 1–

Fluorine is the element having F as its symbol and 9 as its atomic number(9 protons).

• As we know, valence electrons are the electrons that are available in the surface shell of the atom.
• This is the reason that such electrons can make bonding with some other atoms as well.
• Since Fluorine contains 7 valence electrons, it would have a charge of 1– because it will acquire extra electrons to form the bond.
• Fluorine's valence shell would contain $2s^{2} 2P^{5}$ i.e. 7 valence electrons.
• Thus, Fluorine is the chemical element that possesses the highest electronegativity i.e. of around 3.98.
