Answer:
Explanation:
The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.
To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;
Si 111 pm
P 98 pm
Cl 79 pm
S 87pm
pm = picometer
We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius
Even though two grams seemed to disappear or vanish, the law of conversation of mass still holding true. Mercuric oxide, when heated, forms a gas of mercury and oxygen. During the investigation, some gas could have escaped or evaporated.
ionic bond is formed between ca and cl forming molecule cacl2 ca has 2 velancy and cl has one velancy (ca has 2 electrons in its outer most shell while cl has 1 electron vecancy in its outermost shell). So ca would make bond with 2 cl atoms
Answer:
it will have 6 valence electrons
it will gain electrons
charge will be 2-
