Answer:
- <em>The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is </em><u><em>zero (0).</em></u>
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>Ionic compounds,</em> such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.
Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.
The charges in the <em>ionic compound calcium flouride</em> are distributed in this way:
- Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge
- Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.
- Then, the <em>net charge</em> is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.
So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a <u>zero net charge</u>.

I have had this question on a test before!! Hope this helps
The law of conservation of mass say that, in a chemical reaction, the mass of the reagents will always be equal to the mass of the products. This is shown in the reaction given below.
- Mass of the reagent: 100 g.
- Mass of the products: 56 + 44 = 100 g.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
2 N on left so we put a 2 on the right which makes 6 H so we need 6H on the left to do that we add a coef. of 3 to make 6 H and balance the equation
