    Fluorine belongs to Group VII elements also called as Halogens. The electronic configuration of Fluorine (Atomic Number = 9) is as follow,

    1s², 2s², 2p⁵

    While Electronic Configuration of Neon (Atomic Number 10) is,

    1s², 2s², 2p⁶

    Now,

    In order to attain Noble Gas Configuration, Fluorine atom tends to accept one electron readily so that it can attain Noble Gas Configuration, which is a stable state.
