How many protons and electrons are there in an F ion? 8 protons and 8 electrons 8 protons and 9 electrons 8 protons and 10 electrons 9 protons and 8 electrons 9 protons and 9 electrons 9 protons and 10 electrons

Solution

Solution:

=> 9 protons and 10 electrons.

Normally fluorine has nine protons and nine electrons with atomic no. 9 in periodic table.But in case of F- ion,here fluorine gained one electron from other element to complete their octet.So,after transfer of one more electron it have totally 10 electrons and 9 protons and it exhibit a negative charge due to the reason that no. of electron here is greater than no. of proton.An ion never have equal no. of protons and electrons.
