Question

Please help answer this  

5. Fluorine
a. What is the electron configuration for fluorine?
b. How many atomic orbitals does each fluorine atom have (hint: only think about the
valence electron placements as core electrons are not involved in forming bonds)?
Write out what are they (e.g. s, p, etc)
c. Total atomic orbitals for both fluorine atoms?
d. How many molecular orbitals would the two fluorine atoms create? Write out what are
they (e.g. bonding or antibonding for each orbital combination)
e. How many core electrons and valence electrons does fluorine have?
f. If two fluorine atoms come together how many electrons total would be present?
