Its just Calcium Flouride because as you can see it is an Ionic bond (Ca is  metal and fl is a gas usually)

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an atom donates electrons to another atom then it results in the formation of a bond known as ionic bond.

For example, atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 2. Whereas atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. So, in order to attain stability calcium loses two electrons and fluorine will gain one electron.

Therefore, calcium will combine with two fluorine atoms resulting in formation of a CaF_{2} compound known as calcium fluoride.

A box of mass 12 kg is at rest on a flat floor. The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is 0.42. What is th
vladimir2022 [97]

As we know that friction force on box is given by

F_s = \mu_s N

here we know that

N = mg

here we have

m = 12 kg

\mu_s = 0.42

so now we have

N = 12(9.8) = 117.6 N

now we will have

F_s = 0.42(12)(9.8)

F_s = 49.4 N

so it required minimum 49 N(approx) force to move the block
