Q. The number of covalent bonds in fluorine molecule is
J & K CETJ & K CET 2007Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Solution:
The electronic configuration of fluorine atom is $F_{(9)}-1 s^{2}, 2 s^{2} 2 p^{5}$ So, fluorine required only one electron to complete its octet. Thus, in the formation of fluorine molecule only one covalent bond formed.
