Which of the following is the correct chemical formula for Ca and F? CaF Ca2F CaF2

Chemistry
1 answer:
yawa3891 [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

CaF2

Explanation:

Calcium fluoride is a solid formed by the chemical combination of Calcium (Ca) and Fluorine (F). Two molecules of fluorine (F2) and one molecule of Calcium (Ca) are needed to form the Calcium Fluoride molecule.

An ionic bond is formed between the Calcium and Fluorine atoms i.e. electrons are transferred from calcium atoms to fluorine atoms. The calcium ion is a cation with formula; Ca2+ while fluorine is an anion with formula; F-. Hence, it takes two molecules of Fluorine ion (F-) to form a relatively stable and neutral molecule with 1 molecule of Calcium ion (Ca2+).

Which is not a product of the fractional distillation of petroleum?
Natalka [10]
Answer:
            Option-C, <u>STEEL</u> <span>is not a product of the fractional distillation of petroleum.

Explanation:
                   Petroleum is the mixture of Hydrocarbons *carbon and hydrogen containing compounds) present beneath the Earth's surface. Petroleum is formed from the remains of animals and plants beneath earth's surface in an anaerobic conditions.
                   Petroleum contains from small hydrocarbons (gases) to medium (liquids) and long chain hydrocarbons (Solids). These hydrocarbons are separated from each other by Fractional Distillation method (separation due to difference in boiling points)
                   Gasoline is a derivative of one of the fraction of petroleum used in internal combustion engines.
                   Jet Fuel is also derived from Kerosene and Naphtha fractions of petroleum.
                   While, Steel is inorganic Alloy (mixture of metals) composed of mainly Iron, Carbon and other elements.</span>

Describe happens when you move any atom toward the positive nuclear charge.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Across a period, effective nuclear charge increases as electron shielding remains constant. A higher effective nuclear charge causes greater attractions to the electrons, pulling the electron cloud closer to the nucleus which results in a smaller atomic radius. ... This results in a larger atomic radius.

explain how to determine the number of atoms, cations, and anions in ionic compounds. use an example to explain. ​
Damm [24]

Answer:

use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.

Example:

NaCl

one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.

2CaCl2

2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
