| Question: | 1 Sodium (Na) + 1 Fluorine (F) |
| Solution: | Sodium Fluoride (NaF) |
| Chemical Equation: | 2Na + F₂ → 2NaF |
| Explanation: | Sodium (Na) is a highly reactive alkali metal 💥, and Fluorine (F) is a highly reactive halogen 💨. 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 Na⁺) and the fluorine atom gains that electron (becoming F⁻). These oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to each other forming a crystal structure 💎. 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. 🧪 |
