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.
Fluoride is an ion with the formula F- and must be paired with a positive ion (such as sodium or Na+) to form a substance.
In the case of the use of fluoride ions in toothpaste and other dental products it comes in the form of sodium fluoride .
Yes. "Sodium Fluorure" is French for Sodium Fluoride.
It's the kind of fluoride Colgate toothpaste has in it.
Sodium fluoride is highly hazardous to health (despite being used everywhere today)!
No, fluorine is the element (symbol F) with the atomic number 9; whereas, fluoride is a compound (fluorine + another element/ group).
Technically, yes, but sodium fluoride is more "official". I mean, it's a ionic compound, so if you're writing a report or something, to prevent confusion, just go with sodium fluoride.
Yes, NaF is the molar formule of sodium (Na+) fluoride (F-)
yes
Fluorine
Fluorine is a gas, yellowish green and is highly reactive.. Fluorine is most commonly found in nature as a fluoride mineral such as fluorite, calcium fluoride
The fluoride ion is the ion formed by the element fluorine
Fluorine element is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. ( F-F) The fluoride ion is 'F^-' . (NB The fluorine ion is named as 'Fluoride'.
Two fluorine atoms. the formula of calcium fluoride is CaF2.
No, fluoride and fluorine are not the same. Fluorine is a chemical element, represented by the symbol F on the periodic table. Fluoride, on the other hand, is an ion or compound that contains fluorine, often formed when fluorine reacts with another element.
Fluoride-19 has 10 electrons (note fluoride is the ion of fluorine, if you meant fluorine, then fluoride has 9 electrons).
No, The fluoride ion is a reduced form of fluorine.
Fluorine in water is colourless, The same applies for fluorine in hexane
Fluoride is the ion of fluorine, which is a nonmetal.
Fluoride is an ion consisting of a single atom of fluorine atom with a -1 charge. The fluoride in toothpaste and other dental products is sodium fluoride , consisting of sodium, and fluorine.
'Fluoride atom'. ???? The fluorine ATOM is 'F' The fluorine molecule is 'F2'. The Fluoride ION is 'F^-' NB When an atom becomes a charged species, it is no longer an atom , but an ION. The suffix '--ide' indicates it is an ion, not an atom. So 'Fluoride atom' is a nonsense. It is either 'Fluoride ion' or Fluorine atom'.
No. Fluoride is the ion of fluorine with the formula F-. It is commonly found in dental products in the form of sodium fluoride (NaF). Fluorite is calcium fluoride (CaF2), a mineral.
fluorine
Magnesium and fluorine will produce magnesium fluoride by ionic bonding.
Fluorine
fluorine is one of the things that they use to etch glass.
