Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species that tend to gain electrons in order to complete their octet.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.

So, in order to completely fill its octet it needs to gain an electron. Hence, it means it is a non-metal.

Whereas elements that tend to lose electrons in order to attain stability are known as metals.

For example, atomic number of potassium is 19 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1. Hence, to attain stability it loses its 1 valence electron.

Thus, we can conclude that fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine is a non-metal.

is it true that Einstein's equation E=mc2 states that matter can be converted to energy. This is an exception to the Law of Cons
bagirrra123 [75]

The famous formula E=mc^2 really says that mass and energy are the same thing, but measured in different units. So the separate laws of conservation- one for mass and the other for energy- are now merged into one law.

Einstein's theory of special relativity (1905) shows that matter (as mass) and energy can be converted into each other according to the famous equation E = mc2, where E is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light.

What occurs when a coordinate covalent bond is formed between nitrogen and hydrogen in the ammonium ion, NH4+?
NeX [460]
Covalent bonds are formed when electrons are shared between elements that are nonmetals. The ammonium ion, NH+4 , would have covalent bonds because both nitrogen and hydrogen are nonmetals. ... So, the bond between this particular hydrogen atom and the central nitrogen is a dative covalent bond.
