What elements fluorine and chlorine can form minerals in the?

Fluorine is commonly found in minerals such as fluorite (calcium fluoride) and cryolite (sodium aluminum fluoride). Chlorine can form minerals, but it is more commonly found in the form of salts like halite (sodium chloride) and sylvite (potassium chloride).

What is example of an ionic compound?

Table salt or Sodium Chloride (NaCL) is an ionic compound. NaCl, sodium chloride; An ionic compound made up of one or more positive ions (cations) and one or more negative ions (anions).


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.

When combining Aluminum and Copper Chloride what material is formed?

Two materials are formed: metallic copper and aluminum chloride. This is an example of displacement of a less active metal from its compounds by a more active metal in the electromotive series.


What happens when Aluminum metal reacts with zinc chloride to produce zinc and aluminum chloride?

When aluminum metal reacts with zinc chloride, the aluminum displaces zinc in the compound to form aluminum chloride and zinc. This is a single displacement reaction where a more reactive metal (aluminum) replaces a less reactive metal (zinc) in the compound. The reaction gives off heat and releases gas bubbles of hydrogen.


Is chlorine and magnesium covalent?

Magnesium Chloride cannot be formed by covalent bonding because there is a metal element. Covalent bonding occurs only when two or more non-metals bond; thus Hydrogen Fluoride would be formed by covalent bonding.
