It is thought that atoms combine with each other such that the outermost orbit acquires a stable configuration of

8

electrons. If stability were attained with

6

electrons rather than with

8

, what would be the formula of the stable fluoride ions?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{\mathrm{F}^ + }

Option B (

{\mathrm{F}^ + }

) is correct because fluorine has 7 valence electrons, and if stability were achieved with 6 electrons, it would need to lose one electron to form
