Question

Fluorine has 7 valence electrons. Which charge is its ion likely to have?(1 point) Responses 1+ 1+ 5+ 5+ 5- 5- 1–

what is 100% correct

Answer 1

Fluorine has 7 valence electrons and needs to gain 1 electron to achieve a full octet (8 electrons in its outer shell). When it gains that 1 electron, it becomes negatively charged, resulting in a charge of 1–.

So, the correct response is **1–**.
