The charge of fluorine (F) when it bonds with other atoms is -1.
Fluorine belongs to Group 17 or Group VIIA, known as the halogens. The halogens typically form ions with a -1 charge when they bond with other elements. This is because they have seven valence electrons and require only one additional electron to achieve a stable electron configuration (reaching the noble gas configuration of the nearest noble gas, which is neon in this case). By gaining one electron, fluorine fills its outermost energy level, resulting in a stable -1 charge.
looking at the periodic table, determine the charge of fluorine (f) will make when it bonds with other atoms. a +1 b +2 c -1 d -2
