The answer to this question would be: 1

Fluorine is a nonmetal element that was located in the group 7 of the periodic table. Fluorine has 7 valence electron, only need 1 electron left to makes it fulfills the octet rule of 8 valence electron. One covalent bond should give fluorine the 1 electron it needs so the answer would be 1.
