A stage-by-stage clarification of how to attract the F- Lewis Dot Structure.
For the F- Lewis structure use the periodic table to discover the full range of valence electrons for the F atom. The moment we know how a lot of valence electrons there are in F we can distribute them all around the central atom with the objective of filling the outer shells of every single atom.
Since the Fluoride ion (F- has an more electron (the detrimental signal denotes an extra electron) we need to increase that to the 7 valence electrons for the neutral atom F.
In the Lewis construction of F- composition there are a total of 8 valence electrons. F- is also known as Fluoride ion.

Why is the negative symbol inside the brackets and not outside?
Does it only have to have eight or can it have more than eight for an element?
Thank you Dr. B. All of your videos are extremely helpful 😀
