Fluorine has 7 electrons and wants 8. So,

8-7=1

It needs 1 electron. This makes it stable. Remember, that the inert (noble) gases are the most stable elements, because the have a full valence shell of 8 electrons.

Answer : The correct option is, (A) more, 1

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

According to the Octet rule, in order to attain stability the atoms tends to have eight electrons in its valence shell which can be obtained by either by sharing of electrons of complete transfer of electrons.

The tendency of atoms to attempt to get a noble gas configuration that is eight valence electrons is said to be octet rule.

As we know that, fluorine is a halogen that has 7 valence electrons in their outermost shell. So, in order of attain stability or become more stable it will accept 1 electron from another atom and form a stable compound.

Hence, the correct option is, (A) more, 1
