Answer:
Detail is given below.
Explanation:
Calcium is alkaline earth metal. It has two valance electron. Thus calcium needs six more electron to complete the octet. Thus, its very easy for calcium to remove its two electron and get complete octet.
Electronic configuration of Ca:
Ca₂₀ = [Ar] 4s²
While,
Fluorine is halogen. It has seven valance electrons. It needed only one electron to complete the octet. When it combine with calcium , calcium loses two electrons thus two atom of fluorine combine with one atom of fluorine and stable compound calcium fluoride is formed.
Electronic configuration of F:
F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵
Chemical equation:
Ca + F₂ → CaF₂
