The question is about compounds of fluorine.
1 answer:
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Fluorine has 9 electrons
Using the K, L, M, N configuration
K = 2
L = 9 - 2 = 7
Hence, to attain an octet state (8), fluorine either lose 7 or gain 1 electron
However, gaining 1 more electrons seems better Than losing 7; with hydrogen, which has 1 valence electron and also requires 1 more to reach a stable state. Both hydrogen and fluorine could share 1 of their electrons (shown in the picture below) such that fluorine now seem to have 8 with hydrogen also having 2 ; this type of bonding in compound formation is called covalent bonding.
