No it is a compound. Easily distinguishable as such because not only does it contain the mono- prefix but it also contains the modified name of Fluorine and Phosphorus.
Sodium monofluorophosphate or Na2PO3F, is used as an ingredient in most toothpastes as an alternative to sodium fluoride because it is less acutely toxic. It has been noted that sodium monofluorophosphate does have limited evidence of musculoskeletal and respiratory toxicity.
It is an ionic compound.
It is a polymer which is linked to the additional monomers phosphate and floride.
monofluorophosphate was theman that invented sodium fluoride
The structure Na2FPO3 consists of phosphorus at the center of a tetrahedron defined by three oxygen atoms, one fluorine atom and two sodium atoms.
Sodium monofluorophosphate is an ionic solid with a FPO32- ion which is approximately tetrahedral and isoelectronic with SO42-
Yes, Sodium forms ionic compounds with everything, all the alkaline metals do. It is one of the properties of the group.
Generally not. Stannous fluoride definitely does but it's removable and just surface stain.
This toothpastes contain sodium fluoride (NaF), tin fluoride (SnF2), sodium monofluorophosphate(NaPO3F), etc. as fluoride source.
Toothpaste- as monoflurophosphate (or MFP) can reduce the ability of bacteria to make acids, and can remineralize the areas of the tooth that have been attacked by acids from bacteria.
It is an element.
