Question

Determine the number of ions produced in the dissociation of the compound listed. NaF 1,2,3,4 or 5

Answer 1

2 ions

Step-by-step explanation:

• NaF is an ionic compound that is made up of sodium ion and fluoride ion.
• Ionic compounds undergo dissociation when dissolved in water to form free or mobile ions, which explains why ionic compounds are used as electrolytes.
• NaF undergoes complete dissociation when dissolved ions to form one sodium ion and one fluoride ion.
• That is, NaF → Na⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq).
• NaF is, therefore, a strong electrolyte as it ionizes completely to form mobile ions.
