Answer:

Continuing on across the periodic table we see that fluorine is the next element after oxygen. ... Rather than forming seven bonds fluorine only forms a single bond for basically the same reasons that oxygen only forms two bonds. Hydrogen fluoride, HF, has one bond, but four centers of electron density around the fluorine.

The highest energy occupied molecular orbital in the f-f bond of the f2 molecule is _____

Morgarella [4.7K]

The basis of finding the answer to this problem is to know the electronic configuration of Fluorine. That would be: [He] 2s² 2p⁵. The valence electrons, which are the outermost electrons of the atom, are the ones that participate in bonding. Since the highest orbital for F is 2p, that means the highest energy occupied would be 2.
