A.) Electrical force is your answer......
The net iconic charge of an oxygen ion is -2
The basis of finding the answer to this problem is to know the electronic configuration of Fluorine. That would be: <span>[He] 2s</span>²<span> 2p</span>⁵. The valence electrons, which are the outermost electrons of the atom, are the ones that participate in bonding. <em>Since the highest orbital for F is 2p, that means the highest energy occupied would be 2.</em>
