A calcium atom has two valence electrons. Do you think it will lose two electrons or gain six

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
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.

Using the measurements in the table, determine which unidentified metal has the lowest density
Oliga [24]
C is the correct answer because density is mass per unit volume and when you divide it we that volume is greater than mass so density is less density density is directly proportional to Mass Density is inversely proportional to volume

What shape would a molecule of carbon tetrachloride have?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Tetrahedral

Explanation:

For the repulsion of the free electron pair theory, the shape of a molecule will be to repel the bonds and the free electrons on the central atom. In a molecule of carbon tetrachloride, the central atom (C) has no free electrons, so, the shape that repels better the charge is tetrahedral, as shown below.

Zinc iodide              ZnI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Zn²⁺(aq),  

Nitrogen(I) oxide     N₂O           H₂O(ℓ),  N₂O(aq)

Sodium nitrite         NaNO₂      H₂O(ℓ),  Na⁺(aq), NO₂⁻(aq)

Glucose                   C₆H₁₂O₆    H₂O(ℓ),  C₆H₁₂O₆(aq)

Nickel(II) iodide       NiI₂            H₂O(ℓ),  I⁻(aq), Ni²⁺(aq)

  • Glucose and nitrogen(I) oxide are covalent compounds. They do not dissociate in solution.
  • The compounds containing metals are ionic. They produce ions in solution.
  • ZnI₂ and NiI₂ produce twice as many iodide ions as metal ions.

Choose the thermochemical equation that illustrates ΔH°f for Li2SO4. Choose the thermochemical equation that illustrates ΔH°f fo
Deffense [45]

Answer:

2Li(s) + ⅛S₈(s, rhombic) + 2O₂(g) → Li₂SO₄(s)  

Explanation:

A thermochemical equation must show the formation of 1 mol of a substance from its elements in their most stable state,.

The only equation that meets those conditions is the last one.

A and B are wrong , because they show Li₂SO₄ as a reactant, not a product.

C is wrong because Li⁺ and SO₄²⁻ are not elements.

D is wrong because it shows the formation of 8 mol of Li₂SO₄.

A sample of gas has an initial pressure of 1.5 atm, an initial volume of 3.0 L, and an initial temperature of 293K. If the final
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1.9 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial pressure (P₁): 1.5 atm
  • Initial volume (V₁): 3.0 L
  • Initial temperature (T₁): 293 K
  • Final pressure (P₂): 2.5 atm
  • Final volume (V₂): ?
  • Final temperature (T₂): 303 K

Step 2: Calculate the final volume of the gas

If we assume ideal behavior, we can calculate the final volume of the gas using the combined gas law.

P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂ / T₁ × P₂

V₂ = 1.5 atm × 3.0 L × 303 K / 293 K × 2.5 atm = 1.9 L
