Are there any minerals that contain sodium?
Yes:villiaumite or sodium fluoride, found in French GuiananItrite or sodium carbonate, found in Kola Peninsula, Russiahalite or sodium chloride, found worldwide in salt domes and dry lake bedskogarkoite or sodium sulfate fluoride, found in Colorado, USetc.
Did sodium chloride have any dangerous properties?
Sodium Chloride is table salt. It is not particularly dangerous and quite stable.
What is the PH of sodium fluoride?
There is no definite pH for any acid or base as it depends as much on the concentration of the substance in a solution as the strength of the acid or base. Still, sodium fluoride is mildly basic so a sodium fluoride solution will have a pH higher than 7.
Is toothpaste the compound sodium and fluoride?
No, toothpaste is a very complex mixture.Toothpaste is mostly abrasives, detergents, a source of fluoride, and flavorings. Toothpastes are available withoutany fluoride too, especially for young children as they might swallow the toothpaste and too much fluoride causes brown spots on the teeth and can even be toxic. Other ingredients may include antibacterials, remineralizers, antidrying agents, desensitizing agents, etc.Abrasives used include hydrated silica (which can be made from sand), hydrated alumina, calcium carbonate, and dicalcium phosphates. None of these materials would have any cleaning effect on teeth without the scrubbing action of a toothbrush.The most common source of fluoride is the salt sodium fluoride, but the salt tin fluoride (stannous fluoride), the organic salt olaflur, and the salt sodium monofluorophosphate (Na2PO3F) are also used.
Is fluoride a vitamin?
No. Copied from dictionary.com (accessed March 1, 2012): vitamin: any of a group of organic substances essential in small quantities to normal metabolism, found in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs or sometimes produced synthetically: deficiencies of vitamins produce specific disorders. Fluoride - refers to the F- anion. Sodium fluoride (for example, in a varnish) is an inorganic compound. The fluoride ion is not essential to any known normal metabolic process. A deficiency of fluoride has never been shown to produce any specific disorders.
What are the compounds contained in Fluoride called?
Fluoride is fluorine's anion; it is a fluorine atom with an extra electron, giving it a negative charge. Thus, the compounds contained within it, like those of any atom, would be protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are composed of quarks. Fluroide can bond with metallic cations to form salts, such as sodium fluoride, which is often found in toothpaste.
Is salt better for you or is sugar?
Any organism need sodium chloride but also sugars, of course at a given range. No one is better.
Will fluoride evaporate from tap water?
At SATP? Not to any noticeable or concentration-changing extent, no. Fluoride evaporates at about the same rate as water, it's more likely to chemically break down than evaporate out of a still water reservoir. ------- Fluoride itself is F- and cannot chemically break down in this manner. However water is usually treated with a larger molecule that contains the fluoride ion (eg Sodium Fluoride, NaF, --> Na+ F-). HF and other chemicals may then be formed although will still associate and dissociate in water, however it is irrelevant - the presence of the Fluoride ion is of dental benefit and that's why it is there.
What are the ions for calcium fluoride?
The individual ions for calcium fluoride have the formulas Ca+2 and F-1 respectively. That means that in any sample of calcium fluoride, there must be twice as many of the fluoride ions.
Is fluoride a gas solid or liquid in room temperature?
Fluoride does not exist on its own as a substance. It is a negatively charged ion that needs to be accompanied by a positive ion. Substances containing this ion, call fluorides are not liquids, gasses, or metals but solid salts. The element fluorine from which the fluoride ion is formed from is a gas.
Is iron III fluoride an ionic bond?
Iron (III) fluoride has ionic bonds. No compound is any kind of bond.
Substance containing any ionic fluoride?
