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.

Which of the following statements about the ordinary IR spectroscopic regions are TRUE? 1. In general, the IR FUNDAMENTAL region
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: the statements in 1 and 2 are true of IR spectroscopic region.

1. In general, the IR FUNDAMENTAL region has a longer wavelength region than the region we call the ultraviolet (uv) region.

2. We can sense some of the frequencies of the FUNDAMENTAL region of the IR as heat

Explanation:

IR has energy value between 10^-5eV - 10^-2eVwhile

UV has energy value of 4eV - 300eV

IR has low photon energy and cannot alter atoms and molecules while UV has sufficient energy to iodize atoms therefore UV has a higher energy band.

Infrared light falls just outside the visible spectrum, beyond the edge of what we can see as red.

What will happen to a liquid when heated
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we heat a liquid, what happens is that the molecules of the liquid will absorb heat and thus develop kinetic energy that will make them move faster.

Now, as the liquid begins to boil, bubbles of will be formed inside the liquid and then rises to the surface. Now, when the temperature of the reaches 100°C which is the boiling point of a liquid, the molecules at the top of the liquid begin to change to gaseous state and escape in form of vapour.
