A binary compound is a compound that is composed of 2 distinct element. An ionic compound is composed of ions, usually one is a metal why the other is a non metal. One element gives out electron to form cation and the other receives electron to form anion in a binary compound.
Cesium is a group 1 element and it has one valence electron and it can easily donate this 1 electron to form a bond with other element. Group 1 element are generally very reactive. Cesium is a metal
Fluorine is in group 7 of the periodic table and is a non metal .Fluorine have 7 valency electron and requires 1 electron to form a stable octet.
When cesium and fluorine bond to form a binary compound cesium donate 1 electron and fluorine receives the 1 electron for both element to form a stable octet. The formula for the binary ionic compound of cesium and fluorine can therefore be expressed as Cesium fluoride(CsF)
Ice cubes with salt melt faster. When you add salt, it dissolves in the water of the ice cube. The freezing temperature of salt water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit lower than that of fresh water.
