Will fluorine form an anion or a cation? Why?

Fluorine will always form an anion. That is because at its basic form, it is electronegative, which means that it attracts electrons who give it a negative charge. This is why it will form an anion.

We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
      ..    ..    ..
H - O - F - O:
      ··   ··    ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:

Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]

H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0

O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0

F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1

O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1

As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.

PLEASE HELP!!!
yuradex [85]

This might be right. Im not quite sure. This is what my 5th grade science teacher told me. 'Look at the 2 LR's and add them together. Then look at the total amount which is 32. When you add the 2 LR's you get 17. So subtract 17 from 32 and you get 15. So: C:15 is your answer." (LR's stands for liquid reactants)

10+17=17

Total amount is 32

32-17=15

15 is you mass

Hope this Helps
