Question
complete the sentences. the number of protons in the fluorine atom is less than equal to greater than the number of e fluorine atom ha net charge.
In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged particles) is equal to the number of electrons (negatively charged particles) because the positive and negative charges balance out, resulting in a net charge of zero. Fluorine, in its neutral state, follows this rule. So the number of protons in a fluorine atom is equal to the number of electrons.
