Answer:
Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons.
Explanation:
Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. Fluorine belongs to group 7 in the periodic table. Group 7 elements are known as halogens. Fluorine is halogen and is the most electronegative element among the halogens. As Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons it has a tendency to accept another electron and complete an octet (8 electrons). Fluorine (F) forms a fluoride ion (anion) by accepting one more electron in its valence shell.
