Question

A pupil has drawn the electronic structure of fluorine and the diagram is shown below. However,

mistakes have been made. State three mistakes that have been made.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Fluorine atom there are 2 electrons in the innermost shell and 7 i the outer shell.

Answer 2

The first shell can only hold 2 electrons, but the pupil placed in 8 electrons.

The second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, but the pupil only placed in 2 electrons.

Flourine only has 9 total electrons, yet there are 10 electrons in the diagram.
