How many atoms in sodium fluoride?
One atom of sodium and one atom of fluorine.
Are fluoride and fluorine the same?
No. Sodium (Na) is a chemical element. Salt is a term we generally apply to table salt, which is sodium chloride (NaCl), a chemical compound formed of one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine. Also note that a salt is also a general term that can be applied to a compound formed of a Group 1 or Group 2 element, an alkali metal or an alkali earth metal (respectively), and a group 17 element, a halogen. There is a nice periodic table posted by our friends at Wikipedia, and all the elements are posted by chemical symbol (naturally). Each chemical symbol is a link to the Wikipedia article on that element, so you can surf directly to an element from the periodic table. A link to this periodic table is provided.
What is the formula of the compound made when fluorine reacts with sodium?
Sodium sulfate has Na2SO4 as its chemical formula. This is the anhydrous form (without water), and it is also seen written as Na2SO4 + 10 H2O, which is its decahydrate. Wikipedia has additional information on this idustrial chemical, and a link is provided below so you can surf on over.
How do you balance the equation for sodium and fluorine to produce sodium fluoride?
2 Na + F2 --> 2 NaF It is one of the most violent reactions between two elements.
In the compound sodium fluoride NaF thev sodium atom loses one electron and the fluorine atom gains one electron to form ions that have electrons configurations similar to?
neon only because sodium loses an electron an its outer shell becomes empty making its configuration the same as neon and fluorine gains an electron making its configuration the same as neon as well.
What is the name of the ionic compound made from one sodium and one fluorine?
Sodium fluoride.
How many atoms in sodium fluoride?
One atom of sodium and one atom of fluorine.
What element might you find in your toothpaste?
Two common one would be Tin and Fluorine, which make up the anti-cavity compound Stannous Fluoride.
What is a substance containing sodium flouride?
One substance that may contain sodium fluoride is common table salt. The chemical compound for sodium fluoride is NaF. The chemical is an inorganic compound.
How many fluorines does sodium have?
If you think to sodium fluoride (NaF) the formula unit contain one fluorine atom.
Does fluoride actually protect your teeth better or does toothpaste work better?
fluoride is one of the ingredeance in toith past
How much sodium fluoride is needed to make one bottle of toothpaste?
It can take 256 mg of Fluoride to make one bottle of toothpaste. Fluoride is added to toothpaste to disrupt the process of tooth decay.
Which elements are combined to form sodium fluoride?
Sodium Fluoride (NaF) is made up of one sodium atom (Na) and one fluorine atom (F).
How is fluoride created?
One way to make sodium fluoride is to react the hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid. The resulting salt can then be purified by recrystallization. NaOH (aq) + HF (aq) = NaF (aq) + H2O (l) While not a normal route of preparation because of the expense, sodium metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form sodium halides. So, it burns with fluorine, F2, to form sodium (l) fluoride, NaF. 2Na (s) + F2 = 2NaF(s)

What is the chemical formula for the ionic bond of NaF?
NaF is an ionic compound consisting of a sodium ion (Na+) with a plus one charge and a fluoride ion (F-) with a minus one charge. Together though, sodium fluoride (NaF) is uncharged because the +1 and -1 charges of the ions cancel out.
What element is combined with sodium to make toothpaste prevent cavities?
You can get the answer to this one at your local dentists when they give you a fluoride treatment.
