Na = 2 atoms

Cl = 2atoms

F = 2 atoms

Further explanation

Given

Skeleton equation(unbalanced equation) :

NaCl+F2⇒NaF+Cl2

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

We balance the reactions to find the reaction coefficient, which is then used to calculate the number of atoms in the reactants and products

Balanced equation

2NaCl + F2 → 2NaF + Cl2

A balanced reaction will show that the number of atoms in the reactants and products is the same

  • Reactants :

Na = 2 atoms

Cl = 2atoms

F = 2 atoms

  • Products :

Na = 2 atoms

F = 2 atoms

Cl = 2 atoms
