The formula that would represent an ionic compound that is composed of calcium and iodide ions is CaI2
Explanation
Ionic compound CaI₂ is formed when Calcium form cation ( <em>a positively charged ion</em>) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form anion ( <em>a negatively charged ion</em>) by gaining one electron each.
When writing down formula of ionic compound, the formula of cation is written first followed by anion formula. therefore Ca is written first followed by I.
The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved in bonding.
C. the denser the plants the better.
Answer:
C
An atom of Oxygen. Contains:
Protons = 8
Electrons = 8
Neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 18 - 8 = 10
Neutrons = 10.
Answer:
Atoms are indivisible
I had a hard time finding this out.
Explanation: Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe all matter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that all matter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.
