Why is calcium fluoride have a smaller boiling point then magnesium fluoride?
Wiki User

The calcium ion is larger than the magnesium ion and so the charge on it is less dense.
This makes it less attracted to the fluoride ions

What are the dietary requirements for normal bone growth?
Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, and Manganese (to name a few).
How does Magnesium's atomic radius compare to aluminum?
Magnesium's atomic radius is smaller than Calcium's.
Which is more reactive Mg or Ca Why?
Calcium is more reactive. In the periodic table, Calcium is directly below Magnesium, which means that a calcium atom is larger than a magnesium atom. This means that the electrostatic attraction between the valence electrons of calcium and the nucleus is weaker than in magnesium(larger distance, smaller force). So, the valence electrons of calcium can easily be lost to form Ca2+ , which translates to Calcium being the more reactive metal.
What is the most abundant substance in the human body is?
Water (H20) and Carbon, for the most part, but there's also traces of other smaller minerals, such as calcium and magnesium.
Why is magnesium sulphate soluble in sodium chloride?
Size: magnesium ions are smaller than calcium ions, so more of them fit in the same volume, even when surrounded by water.
Why is it harder to remove an electron from Magnesium than it is to remove an electron from Calcium?
Zinc has more electrons in its outer energy level than Calcium. Because of this, itsnucleus is more attracted to this energy level and pulls it more the nucleus in Calcium. Because of this greater attraction it is harder to remove the electron from Zinc.
What layer is made of magnesium and smaller amounts of aluminum and silicon?
earths mantle is made of silicon,iron,aluminum,calcium,sodium,potassium,magnesium,and mostly oxygen
What is the oranges main nutrients?
The main nutrient in oranges is Vitamin C. They also contain calcium, vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6, Niacin, Folate, and Magnesium in smaller quantities.
Is it possible for you to get smaller?
smaller? get what smaller? people can shrink with age, i think it is caused by lack of calcium.
Compared to the atomic radius of a sodium atom the atomic radius of a magnesium atom os smaller the smaller radius is primly a result of the magnesium atom having?
a larger nuclear charge
What nutrients are found in shrimps?
The nutrients in tiger prawns are salt, fat, protein and cholesterol. There are trace amounts of calcium and iron as well.
Why is the magnesium atom smaller than sodium and calcium?
Magnesium is smaller than calcium because it has less shells of electron although both elements have the same number of valence electrons calcium has one more shell. However sodiums electron configuration is 2.8.1 which gives it three shells of electron- the same as magnesium it also has less protons in it's nucleus so it appears that sodium is smaller than magnesium not the other way around. Hope this helps :)
