If stability were attained with 6 electrons rather than with 8 electrons, what would be the formula of the stable fluorine ion?
It is thought that atoms combine with each other such that the outermost orbit acquires a stable configuration of 8 electrons. If stability were attained with 6 electrons rather than with 8, what would be the formula of the stable fluoride ions?
The ionization energy of F− is 320 kJ/mole. The electron gain enthalpy of fluorine would be?
