Answer:NaF is ionic. NF3 is covalent. SiF4 is ionic. CaF2 is Ionic and NH4F is also ionic. Ionic compounds transfer electrons whereas covalent compounds share electrons hence the word "co". Also, ionic compounds are formed with metal and nonmetal. Where a covalent is with 2 nonmetals. Only ionic compounds would produce fluoride in water because ionic compounds can dissolve in water and covalent compounds cant.
The s-, p-, and d-block elements of the periodic table are arranged into 18 numbered columns, or groups. The elements in each group have the same number of valence electrons. As a result, elements in the same group often display similar properties and reactivity.
Make sure there are the same number of atoms of each element on either side.
1) Check each one.
2) If one's out of balance, alter the equation to balance it and go back to 1)
3) When everything's balanced, you're finished!
We have 1 Na on the left and 2 Na on the right here. We'll need another NaOH to balance it:
2 NaOH + H₂SO₄ > Na₂SO₄ + H₂O
Now O is out of balance. There's 6 on the left and 5 on the right. We'll need more H₂O:
2 NaOH + H₂SO₄ > Na₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O
Fortunately H is in balance. S is also in balance here, so looks like we did it!
Need any more help?
