How many electrons does the predictable (most common) ion of calcium contain?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
3 0
Answer: 18

Justification:

1) The most common ion of calcium is Ca 2+

2) That means that the atom, neutral calcium, has lost two electrons.

3) The atomic number of calcium is 20.

4) Atomic number is the number of protons, so calcium has 20 protons.

5) Therefore, the neutral atom of calcium also has 20 electrons (to make a net charge of zero).

6) Then, the ion Ca 2+ has 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

Answer: 18 electrons.

What are the Lewis definitions of an acid and a base? In what way are Bronsted definitions? they more general than the In terms
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Lewis definition of Acids and Bases

Chemical species which are capable of accepting electron pairs or donating protons are called Lewis acid.

Chemical species which are capable of donating electron pairs or accepting protons are called Lewis base.

Bronsted definition of acids and bases

Chemical species which are capable of donating H+ are called Bronsted acids.

Chemical species which are capable of accepting H+ are called Bronsted bases.

So all Bronsted acids are Lewis acids but all Lewis acids are not Bronsted acids.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis acid, they must have:

  • Incomplete octet
  • Double bond
  • Vacant d-orbitals

For example, in BF3, octet of boron is incomplete, so it can accept a pair of electron and behaves as Lewis acid.

For a chemical species to behave as Lewis base, they must have:

  • lone pair of electrons

For example, NH3 and OH, both N and O have lone pairs of electrons, hence behave as Lewis base.
