Chemistry

Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.

Which is the term for an ion that has more protons than electrons
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The correct answer is cation. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

An atom with a net charge, either positive or negative, is called an ion. In the event that an atom loses an electron (or more), that is, it will have more protons than electrons, and its net charge will be positive, it will be called cation. In the opposite direction, if an atom gains electrons, it will have a negative net charge, called anion.

If z = 4.0 and y = 9.6, what is the value of x?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The value of x will be "1.4".

Explanation:

The given values are:

y = 9.6

z = 4.0

As we know,

The relation between x, y and z is:

⇒ z = \frac{y}{x}

and,

⇒ x=\frac{y}{z}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒    =\frac{5.6}{4.0}

⇒    =1.4
