Fluorine is a chemical element that is the most chemically reactive and electronegative element of all. Since valence electrons are the ones which are contained in the outermost shell of the atom, Fluorine has 7 valence electrons.
Valence electrons are those electrons that are found in the outermost shell.Since,fluorine consists of 9 electrons altogether,2 residing in its inner shell and 7 in its outermost shell....it has 7 valence electrons.
There are 7 because the electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p5 and 5 ans 2 is 7
7 mann
Fluornine has 7 valence electrons. You can tell what the basic elements valence electron number is by there period number.
Everything in period one has 1 electron, period two has 2 electrons, period 13 has 3 electrons, period 16 has 6 electrons, 17 has 7 and 18 have all eight which makes it stable. All the elements want to reach 8 electrons.

Duh, I think there are 24. Everybody knows that
