Beryllium fluoride has distinctive optical properties. In the form of fluoroberyllate glass, it has the lowest refractive index for a solid at room temperature of 1.275. Its dispersive power is the lowest for a solid at 0.0093, and the nonlinear coefficient is also the lowest at 2 × 10 −14.
The structure of the tetrafluoroborate anion, BF − 4. Tetrafluoroborate is the anion BF − 4. This tetrahedral species is isoelectronic with tetrafluoroberyllate (BeF 2− 4), tetrafluoromethane (CF 4), and tetrafluoroammonium (NF + 4) and is valence isoelectronic with many stable and important species including the perchlorate anion, ClO −
It can be formed by melting sodium fluoride and beryllium fluoride. [32] The gas above molten sodium tetrafluoroberyllate contains BeF 2 and NaF gas. [11] Lithium tetrafluoroberyllate takes on the same crystal form as the mineral phenacite. As a liquid it is proposed for the molten salt reactor, in which it is called FLiBe. The liquid salt has ...
Sodium fluoride: yellow is fluorine, purple is sodium. They are isoelectronic, but fluorine is bigger because its nuclear charge is lower. The alkali metals form monofluorides. All are soluble and have the sodium chloride (rock salt) structure, [47] Because the fluoride anion is basic, many alkali metal fluorides form bifluorides with the ...
Structure of beryllium fluoride (BeF 2), a compound with a linear geometry at the beryllium atom. The linear molecular geometry describes the geometry around a central atom bonded to two other atoms (or ligands) placed at a bond angle of 180°.
Lewis structure of a water molecule. Lewis structures – also called Lewis dot formulas, Lewis dot structures, electron dot structures, or Lewis electron dot structures (LEDs) – are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, as well as the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the molecule.
The fluorite structure Beryllium fluoride glass Difluorides are chemical compounds with two fluorine atoms per molecule (or per formula unit).
Fluoride (/ ˈ f l ʊər aɪ d, ˈ f l ɔːr-/) [3] is an inorganic, monatomic anion of fluorine, with the chemical formula F − (also written [F] −), whose salts are typically white or colorless. Fluoride salts typically have distinctive bitter tastes, and are odorless.
