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.

Which statement describes a scientific theory?
vichka [17]
Best Answer
C) is the best description, although a scientific theory is not necessarily a "fact". They are, however, based on evidence.

A) is complete garbage.

B) is a good description of a scientific "law"- something that predicts how a certain event will occur without explaining why this is (for instance, the law of gravity accurately describes the gravitational forces between two bodies, but does not explain why these forces are there).

D) is a scientific "hypothesis"- an explanation for an observed phenomena that is yet to be proven.
