How many electrons will fluorine gain or lose in forming an ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1 electron

Explanation:

Fluorine is a nonmetal with a high electronegativity and electron affinity so it tends to gain electrons to reach stability. According to the octet rule, fluorine will gain enough electrons so as to complete its valence shell with 8 electrons. Fluorine is in the Group 17 in the Periodic Table, which means it has 7 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, it will gain 1 electron to complete its octet and form the anion F⁻.

What happens to Earth when it is farthest from the sun?
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Earth is closest to the Sun, or at the perihelion, about 2 weeks after the December Solstice, when it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Earth is farthest away from the Sun, at the aphelion point, 2 weeks after the June Solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is enjoying warm summer months.

Therefore, most countries might have two or four seasons.

If nicotine has a molar mass of 160±5g/mol , what is its molecular formula?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

C10H14N2

Explanation:  

I don't believe one can deduce the molecular formula from just it's molar mass.  There are too many possible combinations of elements that could add to the same mass.  This is the correct formula for nicotine, taken from known information, not from an analysis of the molar mass alone.  One can confirm the molar mass is in the correct range:

C10:  10*12 = 120

H14:   14*1 =    14

N2:     2*14 =  <u> 28</u>

Total =             162  which is 160±5g/mol
