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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nady [450]3 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.

What effect does supercritical mass have on a nuclear reaction?
Ksju [112]
Supercritical mass results to an increase in the rate of fission. There is a chain reaction that will occur. Nuclear fission or explosion used in atomic bombs relies on supercritical mass. An atom splits into two, with each splitting into two pairs and so on, releasing energy in each step.
