It is believed that atoms combine with each other such that the outermost shell acquires a stable configuration of 8 electrons. If stability were attained 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+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
No. of valence electrons in F are 7. Thus, in order to have 6 valence electrons, it must loose one electron and will have the formula `F^(+)`.
