The resonant N+ particle scattering was studied in the F excitation region from 6.5 to 9 MeV at Astana cyclotron using the TTIK approach. The excitation functions for the elastic N+ scattering were analyzed in the framework of R matrix calculations. The observed strong alpha cluster structure in F is compared with that in O. While the general agreement of the structure in both nuclei is confirmed, a striking difference for l = 4 resonances is found. The experimental results are compared with configuration interaction calculations.
