Question

How many atoms are bonded to the central atom in a fluorine (F2) molecule?

Answer 1

Answer:

Only one atom are bonded to the central atom in the $F_{2}$.

Explanation:

Fluorine most electronegative element.

The atomic number of fluorine is 9.

Electronic configuration - $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{4}$

Hence, it required only one electron to get noble gas[Ne] electronic configuration.

In the $F_{2}$ molecule two fluorine atoms are bonded by single covalent bond to get stability.

Each atom share one electron and form a bond.

The structure of $F_{2}$ molecule is as follows.
