Explanation:

You know that fluorine has an atomic number equal to  9, which means that the  9th  electron in an atom of fluorine is the last one added when "constructing" the neutral atom of fluorine. Fluorine is located in period  2  of the Periodic Table, which implies that the  9th  electron in fluorine is located on the second energy level.  Consequently, you can say that this electron will have a principal quantum number,  n , which describes the energy level on which an electron is located in an atom, equal to  n = 2   Now, fluorine is located in group  17  of the Periodic Table, which means that fluorine is part of the  p  block.
