  2. Calcium fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_fluoride

    Calcium fluoride is the inorganic compound of the elements calcium and fluorine with the formula CaF 2. It is a white solid that is practically insoluble in water. It occurs as the mineral fluorite (also called fluorspar), which is often deeply coloured owing to impurities.

  3. Fluorite structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorite_structure

    In calcium fluoride, the calcium cations are surrounded by fluorine anions that occupy the tetrahedral sites, with an 8:4 coordination number, fluorine to calcium. This ratio is consistent with the stoichiometry of the compound, where the ratio of fluorine to calcium is 2:1.

  4. Fluorine compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine_compounds

    The covalent radius of fluorine of about 71 picometers found in F 2 molecules is significantly larger than that in other compounds because of this weak bonding between the two fluorine atoms. [9] This is a result of the relatively large electron and internuclear repulsions, combined with a relatively small overlap of bonding orbitals arising ...

  5. Fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride

    Fluorine, in the form of fluoride, is considered to be a micronutrient for human health, necessary to prevent dental cavities, and to promote healthy bone growth. [28] The tea plant (Camellia sinensis L.) is a known accumulator of fluorine compounds, released upon forming infusions such as the common beverage. The fluorine compounds decompose ...

    This is a list of common chemical compounds with chemical formulae and CAS numbers, indexed by formula. This complements alternative listing at list of inorganic compounds . There is no complete list of chemical compounds since by nature the list would be infinite.

  7. Difluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difluoride

    Calcium difluoride is a notable compound. In the form of the mineral fluorite it is the major source of commercial fluorine. It also has an eponymic crystal structure, which is an end member of the spectrum starting from bixbyite and progressing through pyrochlore .

  9. Barium fluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_fluoride

    Barium fluoride is an inorganic compound with the formula Ba F 2. It is a colorless solid that occurs in nature as the rare mineral frankdicksonite. [9] Under standard conditions it adopts the fluorite structure and at high pressure the PbCl 2 structure. [10] Like CaF 2, it is resilient to and insoluble in water.
