6 0

Answer:

A calcium atom will lose its two electrons to obtain an octect in its outermost electron shell.

Explanation:

When a calcium atom loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion. Due to the process of chemical bonding, it is easier for calcium to lose 2 atomes rather than gaining 6 more atoms.

How many atoms are in 36.1 g of boron
Katen [24]

Answer:

The answer is 2.011 *10^24

Explanation:

Looking for atoms in boron,

Molar mass of B = 10.81g/mol

There is 36.1g of B,.

Using avogadro constant = 6.023* 10^23

36.1g of B= 6.023 *10^23/10.81 * 36.1g

That is, 6.023*10^23 divided by 10.81 multiplied by 36.1g

From this calculation, we get

36.1g of boron = 2.011 * 10^24atoms.
