text: Hence, Fluorine must gain an electron to become its natural ion to form as Fluoride.
text: When F becomes F−, it gains one electron but has the same number of protons, meaning the attraction of the protons to the electrons is weaker, and the radius is larger.
text: Fluorine is an element that also has to get an electron to achieve the electron configuration of the noble gas, neon.
text: it turns out F- is larger (i think) than F. i was under the impression that if fluorine gained an electron it would make the ion smaller than the atom as the attraction is stronger between the nucleus and the shells.
text: Let's say that fluorine has already gained an electron.
text: fluorine gains an electron to fill its outer ring and now has the same number of electrons as neon.
