Calcium fluoride.
Ca is metal, F is non-metal, so they form ionic bond.
Ca as metal can form only positive ion. Ca in the second group, so the charge of Ca ion is 2+. Ca²⁺
F is in the 17th group, so it has 7 electrons on the last level. It is non-metal, non-metal, so it has negative charge -(8-7)=-1. "8" because on the last level cannot be more than 8 electrons. F-ion is F¹⁻.
Ca²⁺ F¹⁻
Number of positive charges should be equal to number of negative charges,
Formula of calcium fluoride
CaF2.
2 atoms Fluorine bond with Calcium.
The answer would be 1,3,1,3
That will make a gold-202 nucleus.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.
Step One: Bombard the with a neutron . The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of . However, the atomic number will stay the same.
- New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
- Atomic number is still 80.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
Step Two: The nucleus loses a proton . Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.
- New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
- New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.
Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
A gold-202 nucleus is formed.
Answer: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3
Explanation:
Assuming that orbital configuration is the same as electron configuration this is the answer.
I think it will stay the same.
