2022: ☢️ Electron Configuration of Fluorine (F) [Complete, Abbreviated, Uses ...

Electrons have a specific form of distribution (or configuration) in every atom, even Fluorine. Some are hard to memorise (or predict), so what is the electron configuration of an atom of F?

In the case of Fluorine the abbreviated electron configuration is  [He] 2s2 2p5. Nevertheless, check the complete configuration and other interesting facts about Fluorine that most people don't know.

Fluorine Overview

Fluorine Complete Electron Configuration

1s2 2s2 2p5

Abbreviated Electron Configuration

[He] 2s2 2p5

Sources

Found in the minerals fluorite (CaF2) and cryolite(Na3AlF6). Electrolysis of hydrofluoric acid (HF) or potassium acid fluoride (KHF2) is the only practical method of commercial production.

Atomic Symbol

F

Uses

Used in refrigerants and other fluorocarbons. Also in toothpaste as sodium fluoride (NaF) and stannous fluoride (SnF2); also in Teflon.
