Why must there be two chlorine atoms for every one calcium atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nady [450]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.

<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>

Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two statements are all True for group 7 and 8 elements.

Explanation:

The Group 7 elements are known as the halogens. They are reactive non-metals and are always found in compounds with other elements. Chlorine, bromine and iodine are all halogens.

Chlorine, bromine and iodine are the three common Group 7 elements. Group 7 elements form salts when they react with metals. The term ‘halogen’ means 'salt former'.

In addition to the discription given to norble gases in the question which is true, norble gases;

  •     are inert gases located on the right of the periodic table.
  •     have a full-set of valence electrons, so they're stable, unreactive
  •     are colorless, odorless and tasteless.
  •     have low melting and low boiling points.
  •     can be found in small amounts in the Earth's crust and the Earth's atmosphere.

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

<h3>What are the gas laws?</h3>

The gas laws are used to describe the parameters that has to do with gases.

Given that;

P1 = 98.5 kPa

T1 = 18oC or 291 K

V1 =  74.0 dm3

P2 =  7.0 kPa

V2 = ?

T2 = 18oC or 291 K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1V1T2 =P2V2T1

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 =  98.5 kPa *  74.0 dm3 * 291 K/ 7.0 kPa * 291 K

V2 = 1041.3 dm3

When;

V1 = 1041.3 dm3

T1 = 291 K

V2 = ?

T2 = 80oC or 353 K

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = V1T2/T1

V2 = 1041.3 dm3 * 353 K/291 K

V2 = 1263 dm3

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

Given that

V1 =  100 cm^3

T1 = 273 K

P1 = 1.01 * 10^5 Pa

V2 = ?

P2 =  3.00 x 10^-4 Pa

T2 = -180oC or 255 K

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 =  1.01 * 10^5 Pa * 100 cm^3 * 255 K / 3.00 x 10^-4 Pa * 273 K

V2 = 3.14 * 10^10 cm^3
