<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Number of Protons  =  9

             Number of Neutrons  =  9

             Number of Electrons  =  10

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Number of Protons:

                               The number of protons present in any atom are equal to the atomic number of that particular atom. Hence, as the atomic number of Fluorine is 9 therefore, it contains 9 protons.

Number Neutrons:

                             The number of neutrons present in atom are calculated as,

                                # of Neutrons  =  Atomic Mass - # of protons

As given,

                                Atomic Mass  =  18

                                # of Protons  =  9

So,

                                # of Neutrons  =  18 - 9

                                # of Neutrons  =  9

Number of Electrons:

                                   As we know for a neutral atom the number of electrons are exactly equal to the number of protons present in its nucleus. So, for 9 protons in neutral Fluorine atom there must be 9 electrons. But, we are given with Fluoride Ion (i.e. F⁻) so it contains one extra electron hence, it contains the total of 10 electrons respectively.

What are the compounds empirical and molecular formulas
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms while molecular is the actual formula.

Explanation:

Empirical Formula is the simplest ratio of atoms present in the compound.

The molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms present in the compound.

For example, CH is the empirical formula and C6H6 is the molecular formula of benzene.
