Answer:

1 electron

Explanation:

Fluorine is a nonmetal with a high electronegativity and electron affinity so it tends to gain electrons to reach stability. According to the octet rule, fluorine will gain enough electrons so as to complete its valence shell with 8 electrons. Fluorine is in the Group 17 in the Periodic Table, which means it has 7 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, it will gain 1 electron to complete its octet and form the anion F⁻.
