The element fluorine's outermost energy level can hold eight electrons. Study the diagram of fluorine, and then determine if the following statement is true or false. If true, choose TRUE. If false, choose the rewording that is true. Fluorine's outermost energy level is filled, so fluorine is in its most stable state. A fluorine atom showing the electrons in each energy level. The first level has 2 electrons, and the second has 7.

Darrell Ayala · Answer 1

The answer is False

Explanation:

Fluorine is a Chemical element. Its symbol is F. Its atomic number is 9. Fluorine is a lightest in nature. It is a diatomic pale yellow gas. Except helium, neon and argon, fluorine is highly reactive to react with other elements. The reason for it is false, because the outermost energy level of fluorine is not filled. Fluorine becomes stable, when it forms an ionic bond with another atom.
