Answer is: C. CaCl2.

Name of this chemical compounds is calcium chloride.

Calcium chloride is a inorganic salt with ionic bonds between calcium and chlorine.

It is a colorless crystalline solid at room temperature, highly soluble in water.

Calcium form cation with positive charge 2+ and chlorine form anion with negative charge 1-.

Electron configuration of calcium atom: ₂₀Ca 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s².  

Atomic number of calcium is 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons, so atom of calcium is neutral.  

When calcium lost two electrons, it will have 20 protons (positive charge) and 18 electrons (negative charge), which means it has two protons more and it has +2 oxidation number.

Predict the formula of the ionic compound that would result from combining the monatomic ions formed by each pair of elements. M
skad [1K]

Answer:

E - Be and O

A - Mg and N

E - Li and Br

F - Ba and Cl

B - Rb and O

Explanation:

Be and O

Be is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Be²⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BeO (E-MX).

Mg and N

Mg is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Mg²⁺ and N is a nonmetal that gains 3 e⁻ to form O³⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Mg₃N₂ (A-M₃X₂).

Li and Br

Li is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Li⁺ and Br is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Br⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form LiBr (E-MX).

Ba and Cl

Ba is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Ba²⁺ and Cl is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Cl⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BaCl₂ (F-MX₂).

Rb and O

Rb is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Rb⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Rb₂O (B-M₂X).

beks73 [17]

Answer:

eight

Explanation:

Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to 18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on.

The molecules which evaporate into the gas phase are the ones traveling with ________ velocity.
sveticcg [70]
The appropriate response is high. The best approach to consider it is those molecules have more vitality than the normal and it is unequivocally those higher enthusiastic ones that have enough vitality to break the intra-molecular forces and leave. By the way this is the reason when we sweat we chill off - the most enthusiastic molecules vanish diverting warmth.
