The Calcium atom has 2 valence electrons but a Calcium ion will have no electrons because it is a cation ion. Meaning that there are more protons than electrons. Also, the normal calcium symbol is Ca but the calcium ion is Ca²⁺
I hope this wasn't too late
Answer:
Increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time)
Explanation:
The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar in water is shown in the chemical reaction equation below;
NaHCO3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ----->CO2(g) + H2O(l) + CH3COONa(aq)
The chemical name of baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) while vineager is a dilute acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution. This reaction provides a very easy set up in which we can study the effect of concentration on the rate of chemical reaction.
We must have it behind our minds that increase in the concentration of reactant species increases the rate of chemical reaction. Secondly, the rate of the reaction between baking soda and vinegar can be monitored by observing the volume of CO2 evolved and how quickly it evolves from the reaction mixture.
We can now postulate a hypothesis which states that; 'increase in the concentration of the reactants (vinegar and baking soda) leads to an increase in the rate of reaction (more volume of CO2 is evolved within a shorter time).'
If we go ahead to subject this hypothesis to experimental test, it will be confirmed to be true because a greater volume of CO2 will be evolved within a shorter time as the concentration of the reactants increases.

Answer:
Crystalline solids have regular ordered arrays of components held together by uniform intermolecular forces, whereas the components of amorphous solids are not arranged in regular arrays. The learning objective of this module is to know the characteristic properties of crystalline and amorphous solids. When cleaved or broken, they produce fragments with irregular, often curved surfaces; and they have poorly defined patterns when exposed to x-rays because their components are not arranged in a regular array. An amorphous, translucent solid is called a glass.
