Why do you need one zinc ion and two fluoride ions for the formula zinc fluoride?
In any ionic compound the charges of the ions must balance out to zero. The zinc ion has a 2+ charge while the fluoride ion has a 1- charge. So zinc fluoride must contain two fluoride ions for every zinc ion.
Chemical formula of a fluoride atom?
'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'.
Is fluorine an ion?
NO!!! Fluorine is an elemental gas , with the formula of 'F2'. Structurally (F-F ). However it does form the ion , the fluoride ion , 'F^-'.
Is fluorite and fluoride the same thing?
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.
Does fluoride have metal in its formula?
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.
Formula for sodium flouride?
Fluoride ion is symbolised by F- .(Mind the spelling of flUOride, it is not flouride)
What is the formula for the ionic compound formed between Tin II ion and fluoride ion?
The formula is SnF2.
Kripton fluoride-molecular formula structure?
The chemical formula of krypton fluoride is KrF2. Also is known the ion KrF+.
Chemical formula for III fluoride?
Formula: XF3 where X is the element with which fluorine is bonded
