F (Fluorine) is in column (group/family) VIIA, or the "halogens". When you see the halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) in combination with a metal, each halogen atom present will carry a -1 charge. We can see that the atom has no charge, so the metal must cancel out the negative charges brought by the two fluorine atoms.
(Charge on m) + 2*(charge on fluorine) = 0
(Charge on m) + 2*(-1) = 0
(Charge on m) - 2 = 0
Charge on m ion = +2
The order of the answers are as follows:

Answer:
Pu-239
Explanation:
Beta decay moves the element which undergoes the decay one place to the right in the periodic table since to conserve charge and being beta radiations an electron we convert a neutron into a proton and an electron. In neutron capture we increase the atomic mas by one unit. We that in mind, lets solve the question:
U-238 + ₁⁰ n ⇒ U-239 ⇒ Np -239 + ₋₁⁰β ⇒ Pu-239 + ₋₁⁰β
I think it is C. coefficients but I don't know what subscripts are
