Part II: Covalent Bonding 1. Now, you will investigate diatomic molecules, those that are made up of two of the same type of atom. Select 2 fluorine atoms. a. How many valence electrons are in each fluorine atom

Answer :

Answer:

Seven electrons.

Explanation:

There are seven valence electrons in each fluorine atom because it belongs to halogens. Fluorine atom requires one electron to complete its valence shell to become stable so for that it form both ionic and covalent bonds with different atoms. It makes ionic bond with alkali metals by accepting one electron to complete its valence shell and also make covalent bond by sharing of electrons.
