The Fluorine Trade Deal

Fluorine is basically the electron-stealing villain of the periodic table. With 7 valence electrons, it's just ONE shy of a full outer shell, and it will absolutely mug you for that last electron faster than you can say "electronegativity." This trade deal is hilariously one-sided—Fluorine gets your electron and becomes negatively charged, while you're left with a positive charge and an empty feeling of being chemically bamboozled. It's like getting robbed but the thief leaves you a thank-you note. Chemistry's most aggressive element doesn't negotiate; it just takes what it wants and leaves you positively charged (and positively confused).
