| Question: | 1 Sodium (Na) + 1 Fluorine (F) |
| Solution: | Sodium fluoride (NaF) |
| Chemical Equation: | Na + F → NaF |
| Explanation: | Sodium (Na), an alkali metal 👑, readily loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Fluorine (F), a halogen 😈, readily gains one electron to also achieve a stable configuration. The opposite charges (+1 for Na⁺ and -1 for F⁻) attract, forming an ionic bond 🤝 to create the ionic compound sodium fluoride (NaF). |
