Looking at the periodic table, determine the charge of Fluorine (F) will make when it bonds with other atoms.
a
+1
b
+2
c
-2
d
-1
d. -1
To determine the charge of an atom when it bonds with other atoms, we need to look at its position in the periodic table.
Fluorine (F) is located in Group 17, also known as the Halogens. Halogens typically have a charge of -1 when they form compounds. This is because they have seven valence electrons and need to gain only one more electron to achieve a stable, full outer electron configuration.
Therefore, the correct answer is option d: Fluorine (F) will have a charge of -1 when it bonds with other atoms.
