Two fluorine atoms form a compound with a covalent bond called fluorine gas (F₂).

Here's why:

* Covalent Bond: Fluorine atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

* Diatomic Molecule: Fluorine exists naturally as a diatomic molecule, meaning two fluorine atoms are bonded together.

* Fluorine Gas: This molecule is a gas at room temperature and is commonly referred to as fluorine gas.
