How can you determine the number of valence electrons an atom has

1 answer:

6 0

For neutral atoms, the number of valence electrons is equal to the atom's main group number. The main group number for an element can be found from its column on the periodic table. For example, carbon is in group 4 and has 4 valence electrons. Oxygen is in group 6 and has 6 valence electrons.

How many electrons, protons, neutrons, and what is the atomic number and atomic mass (if any) does Fluoride have?

ExtremeBDS [4]

Fluoride is an anion of Fluorine

What this means is that the two have the same number of protons (9), but Fluoride has 10 electrons compared to Fluorine's 9.

So the answers are:
Protons - 9
Neutrons - 9
Electrons - 10
Atomic Number - 9
Atomic Mass - 19 g/mol
