Question

which statement best describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom of fluorine (f)? (1 point) there are five electrons in the first energy level and two electrons in the second energy level there are two electrons in the first energy level and five electrons in the second energy level there are seven electrons in the first energy level and two electrons in the second energy level there are two electrons in the first energy level and seven electrons in the second energy level

Explanation:

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9. The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, and the second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. For fluorine, the first energy level has 2 electrons and the second energy level has 7 electrons to make up a total of 9 electrons.

Answer:

There are two electrons in the first energy level and seven electrons in the second energy level.
