The atomic number of Fluorine is 9
Valence (outer) electron configuration is : 2s²2p⁵
Therefore, it requires 1 electron in the p-orbital to complete its octet of 8 electrons.
Thus, the atom Fluorine generally will become <u>more </u>stable through the formation of an ionic chemical compound by accepting <u>1 </u> electron from another atom. This process will fill its outer energy level.
Ans: A) more, 1
