F (Fluorine) is in column (group/family) VIIA, or the "halogens". When you see the halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) in combination with a metal, each halogen atom present will carry a -1 charge. We can see that the atom has no charge, so the metal must cancel out the negative charges brought by the two fluorine atoms.
(Charge on m) + 2*(charge on fluorine) = 0
(Charge on m) + 2*(-1) = 0
(Charge on m) - 2 = 0
Charge on m ion = +2
When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes.
1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).
<span>3. (NH</span>₄<span>)</span>₂<span>C</span>₂<span>O</span>₄ ---> Ammonium Oxalate
NH₄ is ammonia, but we change it to ammonium for polyatomic ions.
The correct answer are:
#1. The measure of gravity on earth determines our weight
#2. The closer an object is to the center of earth, the greater the gravitational force on that object.
#3. Objects in a free fall are constantly picking up speed as they fall back to earth is true.
