1.

It is believed that atoms combine with each other such that the outermost shell acquires a stable configuration of 8 electrons. If stability were attalned with 6 electrons rather than 8. What would be the formula of the stable fluoride ion.A. `F^(-)`B. `F^(+)`C. `F^(2+)`D. `F^(3+)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
No. of valence electrons in F are 7. thus, in order to have 6 valence electrons, it msut loose one electron and will have the formula `F^(+)`.
