Pseudo means "false" so pseudoscience is something claiming to be science that isn't. And science is ability to produce solutions in some problem domain
It is something that is not testable, whereas science is!
Only an old pseudoscience (Gall, 1796).
1. Earth (the material) is a solid. 2. Earth (the planet) is a solid with a liquid center.
its a solid state.
Pseudo solids are amorphous solids (as glass).
1 mole CaF2 = 78.074g CaF2 0.06mol CaF2 x 78.074g CaF2/mol CaF2 = 5g CaF2 (rounded to 1 significant figure)
CaF2 is calcium fluoride.
The bonding in calcium fluoride (not "flouride") is ionic, not covalent.
Of these choices:a. Ca(s) + F2(g) → CaF2(s)b. Ca(g) + F2(g) → CaF2(s)c. Ca2+(g) + 2F−(g) → CaF2(s)d. Ca(g) + 2F(g) → CaF2(s)
CaF2.
Its is an Ionic compound
calcium flouride
N2 - nitrogen gas - is gaseous at "room temperature". Nitrogen is about 80% of our atmosphere. K2S, potassium sulfide, is a solid. C8H18, or CH3(CH2)6CH3, is octane, a liquid component of gasoline. H2O is water, a liquid at room temperature. (Unless you are an Eskimo.) CaF2, Calcium Fluorate, is a solid called "fluorospar".
ionic
Formula: CaF2
The reason it becomes stable is because Ca has 2 valence electrons that it wants to get rid of to become stable. F has 7 valence electrons and wants 1 more to become stable. So, TWO F atoms each take 1 of the 2 electrons from Ca. They form an ionic bond as Ca^2+ and 2F^- to make CaF2.
