I believe it is a Covalent Bond because 1st off, Calcium sulfide is made up of 2 elements, Calcium (Na) and Sulfer (S). Both elements want to obtain 8 electrons to become balanced (An octet) so therefore, these electrons are shared between these 2 elements.

It is a Ionic Bond because Calcium is a metal located in period 4 group 2, Sulfur is a non-metal located in group 6 period 3. It is ionic b/c Ca is a metal and S is a non-metal atom so Ca will give up two valence electrons to Sulfur to make Sulfur's outermost energy level full, so the two elements are stable when they are attracted yo each other

The answer is

Explanation:

To solve the question we use the following conversion

That's

1 mmHg $\cong$ 0.0013 atm

So we have

If 1 mmHg $\cong$ 0.0013 atm

Then 732 mmHg will be

732 × 0.0013 atm

We have the final answer as

How is beryllium similar to calcium?<br>

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The second column on the periodic table of the chemical elements is collectively called the alkaline earth metal group: beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium. Because the outer electron structure in all of these elements is similar, they all have somewhat similar chemical and physical properties.
