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?

Explanation:

Fluorine exists as a diatomic gas and its chemical formula is . Whereas calcium exists in solid state and has a chemical formula Ca.

Therefore, when fluorine gas reacts with calcium metal then it results in the formation of compound calcium fluoride.

The chemical reaction will exist as follows.

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)
