Calcium fluoride.
Ca is metal, F is non-metal, so they form ionic bond.
Ca as metal can form only positive ion. Ca in the second group, so the charge of Ca ion is 2+.   Ca²⁺
F is in the 17th group, so it has 7 electrons on the last level. It is non-metal, non-metal, so it has negative charge -(8-7)=-1. "8" because on the last level cannot be more than 8 electrons. F-ion is F¹⁻.

Ca²⁺  F¹⁻
Number of positive charges should be equal to number of negative charges,
Formula of calcium fluoride
CaF2.
2 atoms Fluorine bond with Calcium.

Alchemists were medieval scholars and philosophers who were the forerunners of modern-day chemists. many tried repeatedly to tra
AlladinOne [14]

Answer is: because they were using simple chemical reactions to transform elements, but that is possible only with nuclear reactions, which in that time were not possible to conduct.

Nuclear reactions can produce new elements, because number of protons and neutrons is changed, lead and gold have different atomic and mass numbers.

The electrons of an atom participates in a chemical reaction, chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, because there is transfer, loss, gain and sharing of electrons in chemical reactions, new elements are not formed.

When circumstances are right, most materials undergo a process called thermal expansion. Which statement best describes the caus
harina [27]

Answer: Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when there's an expansion of an object or material or when an object becomes bigger because of a rise in its temperature. This brings about the faster movement of the heated molecules and the atoms spreading out.

Therefore, the cause and effect of thermal expansion will be that when matter is heated, and its particles spread out more.
