Question

It is believed that atoms combine with each other
such that the outermost shell acquires a stable
configuration of 8 electrons. If stability were attained
with 6 electrons rather than 8 ; what would be the
formula of the stable fluoride ion?
[DUMET)
(a) F-
(b) F+
(d) F3+
(c) F2+​

Answer 1

Answer:

option b is correct answerbecause as as as as fluorine has 9 electrons its first circle has two electrons it's second circle have 7 electrons

Answer 2

Answer:

As Fluorine has the 9 electrons . its 1st circle will take 2 electrons and 2nd circle will take 7 electrons. so to make it 8 electrons it needs only 1 electron. So it will show the F- which leads to your answer a. F-
