Answer 1

To answer the first part of your question regarding the order of elements based on the number of protons (which corresponds to their atomic number), please provide the list of elements you'd like to arrange.

For the second part regarding the number of electrons in a neutral atom of fluorine:

A neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. The atomic number of fluorine (F) is 9, which means it has 9 protons. Therefore, a neutral atom of fluorine contains:

**9 electrons.**
