Question

1. choose the best answer. which of these is the correct lewis dot structure for fluorine?

Explanation:

Fluorine (atomic number 9) has 7 valence electrons. A correct Lewis dot structure for a single fluorine atom shows these 7 electrons as 3 lone pairs (6 electrons) and 1 unpaired electron, totaling 7 dots around the F symbol.

Answer:

The first option (the leftmost structure with 7 dots around F: 3 pairs and 1 single dot)
