How many neutrons are in fluorite?
Fluorite (also called fluorspar) is a halide mineral composed of calcium fluoride, CaF2.The number of neutrons depends on how much mineral you have.One molecule of CaF2 has one calcium atom with either 20, 22, 23, 24, 26 or 28 neutrons and two Fluorine atoms each of which has 10 neutrons.So at least 30 neutrons in one molecule.Each 30 grams of fluorite has an Avogadro number of molecules (6.02214 × 1023). so 100 grams of fluorite has about 6 * 1026 neutrons
