How many non metal atoms are in naf?

In sodium fluoride (NaF), there is 1 non-metal atom, which is fluorine (F). Sodium (Na) is a metal atom.


Is NaF acidic basic or a salt?

It is BASIC because, if combined with water, it produces a strong base: NaOH


Why is NaF a salt?

the difference of electronegativities of sodium and fluorine is 3.1 so they form ionic bonds . the metals and non metals usually have this difference higher than 1.7 and this and higher difference is always form an ionic bond between atoms


Can NaF form Hydrogen bonds?

No, NaF (sodium fluoride) cannot form hydrogen bonds because it does not contain hydrogen atoms attached to highly electronegative atoms like fluorine, oxygen, or nitrogen that are necessary for hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding typically occurs between hydrogen atoms bonded to these electronegative atoms and other electronegative atoms in a molecule.


What is a group name for NaF NaCl NaBr and NaI?

The group name for NaF, NaCl, NaBr, and NaI is "alkali metal halides" as they all consist of an alkali metal (Na) paired with a halogen (F, Cl, Br, I).


Is NaF an ionic or covalent compound?

NaF is an ionic compound. It is composed of a metal cation (sodium, Na+) and a non-metal anion (fluoride, F-), which form a strong ionic bond due to the transfer of electrons from sodium to fluorine.


Is NaF a metal or non metal?

Description belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as alkali metal fluorides. These are inorganic compounds in which the largest halogen atom is fluorine, and the heaviest metal atom is an alkali metal. Kingdom Inorganic compounds


How many moles of NaF are in 34.2 grams of a 45.5 percent by mass NaF solution?

To determine the number of moles of NaF in 34.2 grams of a 45.5% by mass solution, first calculate the mass of NaF in the solution. Mass of NaF = 45.5% of 34.2 grams. Then convert the mass of NaF to moles using the molar mass of NaF. Finally, divide the mass of NaF by its molar mass to get the number of moles.


Will fluorine atoms bond?

Yes it will form ionic bond (as in NaF or MgF2) or covalent bond as in F2 or ClF3)


What kind of bond is used in NaF?

Ionic bond is used in NaF. Sodium (Na) is a metal and fluorine (F) is a non-metal, so they form an ionic bond where electrons are transferred from sodium to fluorine.


How many moles are in 4.5X1028 molecules of sodium fluoride NaF?

4,5.10e28 molecules of sodium fluoride NaF are equal to 0,745.10e5 moles.


Roman numeral for formula NaF?

Roman numerals represent numbers. They are used in chemical formulas to represent the valancy of transitional metals but as neither Sodium or Fluorine is a transitional metal there is no use for Roman numerals in the formula NaF.
