Instead of going by the rule book, let us apply our common sense to the present case of F2. There are only two atoms, so there is practically only one choice for the two atoms to arrange themselves in three dimensions—linearly—irrespective of how many bond pairs and lone pairs there are. As per molecular orbital MO theory, all the constituent atoms in a molecule contribute to the formation of molecular orbitals. These MOs are a linear combination of the atomic orbitals.
Thus, the electrons in a molecule are not individually assigned to atomic orbitals but to molecular orbitals. Let us have a look at the MO diagram for F2. The 2s orbitals of both F atoms mix to form a low energy bonding orbital and a high energy antibonding orbital as shown below.
Note that there are 8 atomic orbitals mixing to form 8 molecular orbitals. Here, fourteen electrons are filled in the molecular orbitals starting from the least energetic one. As shown, the highest energy antibonding orbital is the only one remaining unoccupied. We have already seen above in the Lewis structure that there is a single sigma bond between two F atoms. Now, from MO theory, let us calculate the bond order in the F2 molecule using the following formula.
In more complex molecules polyatomic and asymmetric , the extent of mixing and thus the contribution of individual atomic orbitals to form a particular molecular orbital depends on the relative energy alignment of the atomic orbitals. As you may have noticed, the F2 molecule is symmetric because both the constituent atoms are of the same element F, and thus there is no difference in the electronegativity of the two constituent atoms, thereby making F2 non-polar.
As a result, the entire F2 molecule is non-polar in nature. The overview provided in this article helps in establishing a basic understanding of the structure of F2 through chemical bonding. In fact, one could extrapolate the information provided in this article to understand chemical bonding in other halogen compounds— Cl2 , Br2 , and I2.
November 9, November 9, November 8, November 7, Lone pairs on atoms After determining the center atom and sketch of F 2 molecule, we can start to mark lone pairs on atoms.
There is already one bond in the drawn skeletal. So, there are six remaining lone pairs to mark on fluorine atoms. Because, there is no center atom, we can mark remaining lone pairs on both chlorine atoms. Each fluorine atom will take three lone pairs. Now, all valence electrons pairs are marked. Mark charges on atoms There are no charges on fluorine atoms to mark in the above structure. Check the stability and minimize charges on atoms by converting lone pairs to bonds Because, there are no charges in above structure, do not need to follow this step to reduce charges to get the most stable structure.
Atomic fluorine is univalent and is the most chemically reactive and electronegative of all the elements. In its pure form, it is a poisonous, pale, yellow-green gas, with chemical formula F2. How many electrons and protons does fluorine have?

Pale yellow gas with sharp odour. Gas density is heavier than air. Fluoride is the negative ion of the element fluorine. The symbol for the element fluorine is F. Fluoride often is written as F-, which stands for the anion of fluorine that has a -1 electrical charge.
Any compound, whether it is organic or inorganic, that contains the fluoride ion is also known as a fluoride. Since it is in Group 7 it will have 7 valence electrons. The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds.
Atoms will react to get in the most stable state possible. Drawing the Lewis Structure for F. For the F2 Lewis structure there are a total of 14 valence electrons available. The Lewis symbol for carbon: Each of the four valence electrons is represented as a dot.
