Question: | 1 Sodium (Na) + 1 Fluorine (F) |
Solution: | Sodium Fluoride (NaF) |
Chemical Equation: | 2Na + Fβ β 2NaF |
Explanation: | Sodium (Na) is a highly reactive alkali metal π₯, and Fluorine (F) is a highly reactive halogen π¨. When they react, they form an ionic compound called Sodium Fluoride (NaF). Think of it like this: the sodium atom gives up one electron (becoming NaβΊ) and the fluorine atom gains that electron (becoming Fβ»). These oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to each other forming a crystal structure π. Safety Note: Don't try this experiment at home without proper supervision and safety equipment! This reaction is very vigorous and could be dangerous. It's best to observe this reaction through a video demonstration in a controlled lab setting. π§ͺ |
