Question:
What is the atomicity of Fluorine?
Solution
6.
How? Please help:)

Answer 1

I think it means how many valence electrons fluorine has. Which is why the answer is 6.

Answer 2

The easiest way to tell is by looking at the column. It's in column 6 so it has 6 valence electrons. It needs 2 more to complete its 8-electron shell.

Answer 3

Wait no it's in column 7 what the hell, atomicity must not be valence...

Answer 4

OK atomicity is the number of atoms in one molecule. Fluorine is diatomic, meaning it's a molecule of 2 atoms of fluorine in its natural state: F2. Therefore, the atomicity is 2. Your solution is incorrect.
