Answer 2

The maximum covalency of fluorine is 1.

Explanation:

• Covalency is the no. of electrons an element is able to share with other atoms of the same or different elements to acquire stable electronic configuration.
• The maximum covalency of any element is the counting the number of covalent and coordinate bonds which can be formed by it.
• Covalency of Fluorine –
• Fluorine has a total of 7 valence electrons.
• So, It can share one electron with another atom ofF to form F2 or H to complete its octet to form HF, thus its covalency is 1.
• Hence, The maximum covalency of fluorine is 1.
