Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, as well as Flourine. Add both 7's together to get the total # of electrons which is 14. Draw the symbol for both elements and fill in the dots and or dashes as you go along. it is a single bond so put a dash between both symbols and that represents 2 electrons so each needs 6 more electrons so then put the dots needed around both elements. There should be 6 dots around each element and a line connecting the two.

-Hope this helps(: (Current high school chemistry student who finally understands how to do this herself!)

Why calcium fluoride has a higher melting point than chlorine fluoride?

Calcium fluoride has a higher melting point than chlorine fluoride because the calcium ion has a higher charge density than the chlorine ion, leading to stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between the calcium and fluoride ions in the lattice structure. This results in a greater amount of energy required to break these bonds, leading to a higher melting point for calcium fluoride compared to chlorine fluoride.


Does boiling water effectively remove chlorine and fluoride"?

Boiling water can remove some chlorine, but not fluoride. Chlorine evaporates when water is boiled, reducing its presence. However, fluoride remains in the water even after boiling.


Why calcium fluoride has higher melting point than Chlorine fluoride?

Calcium fluoride has a higher melting point than chlorine fluoride because calcium fluoride has stronger ionic bonds due to the higher charge of calcium ion compared to the chlorine ion. This leads to greater electrostatic attraction between the ions in calcium fluoride, resulting in a higher melting point.


Will chlorine and potassium fluoride react?

Yes, chlorine and potassium fluoride can react to form potassium chloride and fluorine gas in the presence of water or under specific conditions. This reaction is typically highly exothermic and should be conducted with caution.


How do you draw the Lewis dot diagram for sodium chloride?

To draw the Lewis dot diagram for sodium chloride (NaCl), first determine the total number of valence electrons: 1 from sodium and 7 from chlorine. Sodium will donate its electron to chlorine, forming a single bond. Sodium will have no dots around it, while chlorine will have seven. The overall structure will show the transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine, forming an ionic bond.


Is chlorine fluoride a ionic or molecular?

Chlorine fluoride is a molecular compound. It consists of covalent bonds between the chlorine and fluorine atoms, rather than ionic bonds typically found in compounds composed of a metal and a nonmetal.
