Title: How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does the element Fluorine have? Post by: Tonbon1221 on Sep 8, 2012 Im doing a science project and the question is how many protons, neutrons, and electrons does the element Fluorine have? Please dumb it down as much as you can
Title: How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does the element Fluorine have? Post by: buffalo on Sep 8, 2012 Look at the periodic table, it has all the answers
Title: How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does the element Fluorine have? Post by: buffyl13 on Sep 8, 2012 Fluorine has 9 protons. The number of neutrons can vary between 5-22, but the only naturally occurring isotope of fluorine has 10 neutrons.
When Fluorine is not bonded to another element, it generally has the same number of electrons as neutrons. So, 9 electrons. However, Fluorine can easily gain an extra electron when it reacts with other elements. Title: How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does the element Fluorine have? Post by: toney on Sep 8, 2012 The atomic # is the number of protons.
The mass # - atomic # is the number of neutrons. Flourine is in group 7 on the periodic table, meaning it has a charge of -1, 7 electrons in it's valence shell. If you mean how many electrons TOTAL... that's the same # as protons. Atomic # = # protons, # electrons. In the box on the periodic table, the # on the bottom of the box is the mass #. Atomic # is the # in the top left corner of the box. http://www.ptable.com/ Can't dumb it down any more than that! |
