Fluorine is a non-metal. A fluorine atom has nine electrons. In terms of electrons. what happens when fluorine atoms react?

Respuesta :

Fluorine will gain an electron to complete it's octet .

How?

Let's look at electronic configuration of Fluorine

  • Z=9

Ec:-

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^5[/tex]

  • So it needs 1 electron to complete octet
