Fluorine gas, the element, is more reactive than the elemental gas chlorine. The ions fluoride and chloride the reactivity depends on the solvents and the reaction mechanism. sn1 vs. sn2.

Will fluoride evaporate from tap water?

At SATP? Not to any noticeable or concentration-changing extent, no. Fluoride evaporates at about the same rate as water, it's more likely to chemically break down than evaporate out of a still water reservoir. ------- Fluoride itself is F- and cannot chemically break down in this manner. However water is usually treated with a larger molecule that contains the fluoride ion (eg Sodium Fluoride, NaF, --> Na+ F-). HF and other chemicals may then be formed although will still associate and dissociate in water, however it is irrelevant - the presence of the Fluoride ion is of dental benefit and that's why it is there.


Why does the ionic compound calcium fluoride have a different structure from that of calcium chloride?

Calcium fluoride has the fluorite structure where each calxium ion has 8 fluoride ions as near neighbours at the corners of a cube, and eacf fluoride has 4 calcium ions ate the corners of a tetrahedron. Another way of looking at this is that the calcium ions are close packed and the fluroide atoms fill the "tetrahedral holes" In calcium chloride the chloride ion is too large to allow eight coordination and the coordination around the calcium drops to 6, the coordination around the chloride has to drop to 3. This gives CaCl2 a unique structure which is a distorted form of the more regular rutile structure adopted by TiO2.

Is fluorine an element or a compound?

Fluorine is an element. It appears in the periodic table of elements with chemical symbol F. A compound is when two or more elements come together and get chemically bonded, such as NaF which is sodium fluoride.


Which one is better stannous fluoride or sodium fluoride?

Stannous fluoride is better, as it can make tooth enamel, more resistant towards bacteria.


Can silver displace zinc from its salt solution?

If the zinc salt is soluble and the analogous silver salt is not, silver will displace the zinc as the silver salt precipitates out. For example, zinc chloride is soluble, but the solubility of silver chloride is very low. If silver nitrate is added to a zinc chloride solution, silver chloride will precipitate out, leaving zinc nitrate in solution.
