Answer:

It has 2 valence electrons

It is a metal.

Explanation:

Calcium is a chemical element with the symbol Ca and atomic number 20. As an alkaline earth metal.

In chemistry, a metal is an element that readily forms positive ions (cations) by losing electrons.

Calcium belongs to group 2 and would give up it's two valence electrons in reactions.

The electronic configuration is given as;

Ca : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 or [Ar] 4s²

Valence electron represents the outermost electrons.

The correct options are;

It has 2 valence electrons

It is a metal.

Point E is located at (-2, 2) and point F is located at (4-6). What is the distance between
Flauer [41]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

Given endpoints:

            E (-2,2) and F(4, -6)

To find the distance between two points;

   Use the expression below;

 D = \sqrt{(y_{2} - y_{1}  )^{2} + (x_{2} -  x_{1})^{2}  }

x₁  = -2,

x₂ = 4

y₁ = 2

y₂ = -6

  Insert the parameters and solve;

       D = \sqrt{(-6 - 2  )^{2} + (4 -+ 2)^{2}  }

      D = \sqrt{64+ 36 }   = 10

Single and Double Replacement reactions are exactly as they sound - they “replace” one or two components, depending on the type, with something else obtained in the reaction.

1. This is a double replacement reaction - see that the SO4 and the OH groups are trading what they’re paired with? OH starts paired with Aluminum, and ends up paired to the Hydrogen, and the SO4 starts with the Hydrogen, but ends up with the Aluminum. Two things being replaced - a double replacement reaction.

2. This is a single replacement reaction - Iron replaces the Hydrogen through the reaction, leaving the Hydrogen inbound afterwards; one thing being replaced - a single replacement reaction.

3. Like 1, this is a double replacement reaction - Fluorine and Oxygen trade partners. Two things being replaced - a double replacement reaction.

Number 4 isn’t complete, and I’m not sure about the goal of the practice problems, so I hope this helps enough to finish the work!

A sample of gold (Au) has a mass of 35.12 g..
VMariaS [17]
A) Molar mass gold ( Au) = 196.96 g/mol

1 mole Au ----------- 196.96 g
? moles Au ---------- 35.12 g

35.12 x 1 / 196.96

= 0.178 moles of Au
_____________________________

b) 196.96 g --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
    35.12 g ---------------- ( atoms ? )

35.12 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 196.96

2.114x10²⁵ / 196.96

= 1.07x10²³ atoms
