Fluoride itself is just the ion of the nonmetal fluorine. To form a substance it must be combined with a positive ion. In most cases, but not all, this positive ion is a metal. In most dental products contain sodium fluoride, sodium being a metal. Fluoride is sometimes confused with the mineral fluorite, which is calcium fluoride. Calcium is also a metal.
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.
Sodium fluoride is an ionic compound with the formula NaF.
The fluoride ion is noted as F- (F minus).
APF fluoride paste of gel contain: fluride ion- 1,23 % (as sodium fluoride), purified water, poloxamer 407, isobutane, poloxamer 234, phosphoric acid, sodium saccharin, flavor.
Fluoride ion is symbolised by F- .(Mind the spelling of flUOride, it is not flouride)
The formula for sodium fluoride is NaF.
Both fluoride ion and sodium ion are isoelectronic with neon. That means all have 10 electrons.
sodium fluoride
The sodium ion (Na+) is a cation (positive charge) and the fluoride ion (F-) is an anion (negative charge).

The Fluoride ion, neon atom, and sodium ion all have the same electron configuration and known as ISO-ELECTRONIC ions.
The formula of sodium fluoride is NaF; its gram formula mass is 41.9882.
