Biology
2 answers:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Some atoms gain or lose more than 1 electron. Calcium loses 2 electrons when it becomes an ion. When ions come together to form an ionic bond, they always join in numbers that exactly cancel out the positive and negative charge.

Explanation:

That's it.

Answer: By losing its two outermost electron

Explanation:

Calcium is a element that belongs to group 2 in the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 20, and an electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 2.

Hence, to form an octet structure, it gives off its two electrons as shown below:

Ca <----> Ca2+ + 2e-

Thus, by losing its two outermost electrons, a positively charged calcium ion (Ca2+) is formed

Social cognitive theory proposes that changing a behavior is a function of individual characteristics. True or False
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The answer is: False.

Explanation:

Social cognitive theory stands that portions of an individual's knowledge acquisition can be related to <em>observing others within the context of social interactions. </em>

When people observe a model performing a behaviour and the consequences of that behaviour, they remember the sequence of events and <em>use this information to guide subsequent behaviors</em>.

The theory says that people do not leatn new behaviours solely by trrying them and either succeding or failing, but upon the replication of the action of others.

I hope it works!
