Fluorine gas is placed in contact with calcium metal at high temperatures to produce calcium fluoride powder. What is the formula equation for this reaction?
F2(0)+ Na(s) - NaF 2(s)
O
F2(g) + Ca(s) —> CaF2(0)
F2(g) + Na(s)
> NaF 200
F2(g) + Ca(s)
CaF2(s)

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
