Answer:
calcium fluoride or CaF2 is produced.
Explanation:
When calcium reacts with fluorine in a synthesis reaction you would get CaF2
Answer:
[tex]CaF_{2}[/tex] is formed here.
Explanation:
[tex]F_{2}[/tex] is an oxidizing agent and Ca is a reducing agent because F atom is highly electronegative and Ca atom is highly electropositive.
Therefore Ca is oxidized to [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] ion by giving electrons to [tex]F_{2}[/tex] and reduces [tex]F_{2}[/tex] to [tex]F^{-}[/tex] ion.
Therefore an insoluble ionic compound [tex]CaF_{2}[/tex] is formed as a result.
Balanced equation: [tex]Ca+F_{2}\rightarrow CaF_{2}[/tex]
