Well, I don't have a number for you.
I can tell you that in Dentistry we use 3 main types of fluoride for therapeutic use.
NaF also known as sodium fluoride
APF also know is acidulated phosphate fluoride
SnF also known as stannous fluoride
Fluoride may occur in many other forms that I am not aware of, but these are the forms that are used to produce clinical results.
I couldn't tell you how many forms of fluoride there, but if you are concerned that you need fluoride for your teeth, don't worry, If you get your teeth cleaned the recommended twice a year, the dentist should do a fluoride treatment. That is plenty. Also, If you live in the city, you are getting additional fluoride because most cities add a small amaount of fluoride to their drinking water resurves for this purpose, not to mention it helps keep the water you are drinking healthy.
i thought there was like 600 and even more
What else can I help you with?
Is lithium fluoride acidic or basic?
Lithium fluoride is a basic compound. When it dissolves in water, it forms lithium ions (Li+) and fluoride ions (F-), with the fluoride ion having a slight tendency to accept protons, making it a weak base.
Is ammonium fluoride soluble in water?
Yes, ammonium fluoride is soluble in water. It forms a colorless solution when dissolved in water.
Is iron III fluoride an ionic bond?
Yes, iron (III) fluoride (FeF3) is an ionic compound. Iron (III) ion (Fe3+) is a cation, while fluoride ion (F-) is an anion. The electrostatic attraction between these ions forms an ionic bond in iron (III) fluoride.
HOW many moles are in 4.5 moles of sodium fluoride?
There are 4.5 moles of sodium fluoride in 4.5 moles of sodium fluoride.
What compound is formed when uranium hexafluoride reacts with moisture?
When uranium hexafluoride reacts with moisture in the air, it forms uranyl fluoride (UO2F2) and hydrogen fluoride (HF). Uranium hexafluoride is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture to form these compounds.
Is beryllium fluoride ionic or covalent?
Beryllium fluoride is an ionic compound. Beryllium, a metal, forms cations while fluoride, a nonmetal, forms anions, resulting in a transfer of electrons and the formation of ionic bonds.
How many ions are in carbon fluoride?
In a compound such as carbon fluoride, the number of ions present depends on the ionic form of the elements. For example, carbon typically forms covalent bonds and does not usually exist as an ion, while fluoride ions have a charge of -1. So, in a compound like carbon fluoride (CF₄ or CF₂), there are no ions of carbon but four fluoride ions for CF₄ and two fluoride ions for CF₂.
What does HF mixed with NaF make?
When hydrogen fluoride (HF) is mixed with sodium fluoride (NaF), it forms a solution known as acidulated sodium fluoride, which is commonly used for topical fluoride treatments in dentistry to help prevent tooth decay.
Is phosphorous fluoride a covalent bond?
Yes, phosphorus fluoride forms a covalent bond. In phosphorus fluoride compounds, phosphorus and fluorine atoms share electron pairs to form covalent bonds.
Is lithium fluoride acidic or basic?
Lithium fluoride is a basic compound. When it dissolves in water, it forms lithium ions (Li+) and fluoride ions (F-), with the fluoride ion having a slight tendency to accept protons, making it a weak base.
Is silver fluoride soluble?
Yes, silver fluoride is soluble in water. It forms a clear, colorless solution when dissolved in water.
What is another name for fluoride?
Fluoride is in many products available to the public. Fluoride is also known as Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride, Stannous Fluoride, Hydrogen Fluoride, Calcarea Fluorica, and Atomic Number 9.
How many fluoride ions are in 1.46 moles of aluminum fluoride?
There would be 4.38 moles of fluoride ions in 1.46 moles of aluminum fluoride, as the formula for aluminum fluoride is AlF3 with three fluoride ions per molecule of aluminum fluoride.
How many electrons are in Fluoride-19?
Fluoride-19 has 10 electrons (note fluoride is the ion of fluorine, if you meant fluorine, then fluoride has 9 electrons).
Is fluoride a base?
No, a fluoride is a salt. Note that in dental health many compounds called fluoride are not simple fluorides.
Is cesium fluoride ionic or covalent?
Cesium fluoride (CsF) is an ionic compound. It forms from the transfer of an electron from cesium (Cs) to fluoride (F), resulting in the formation of Cs+ and F- ions that are held together by electrostatic attractions.
What simple ion does F form?
Fluorine forms the fluoride ion, which has a charge of -1.
