Question

no of fluorine atom present in cryolite mol

Answer 1

Cryolite (Na3AlF6, sodium hexafluoroaluminate) is an uncommon mineral identified with the once large deposit at Ivigtût on the west coast of Greenland, depleted by 1987.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 6 number of fluorine atoms present in cryolite molecule.

Explanation:

Cryolite is an uncommon mineral which is used in insecticide and pesticide. This is known as a halide mineral. It usually has a colorless to white color. It falls in the category of monoclinic crystal group.

The formula for this mineral is $Na_3AlF_6$. It is named as trisodium hexafluoroaluminate.

One mole of this mineral contains 3 moles/atoms of sodium , 1 mole/atom of aluminium and 6 moles/atoms of fluorine element.

Hence, there are 6 fluorine atoms present in cryolite molecule.
