\nSo the electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7. \nThe fluorine atom has 7 electrons in the outermost shell, and its valency could be 7. But it is easier for fluorine to gain one electron instead of losing seven electrons. Hence, its valency is determined by subtracting seven electrons from the eight(octet) and which gives a valency, one for fluorine.
