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

Chemistry

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.

A 50-mL beaker only has a scale that measures 10, 20, 30, and 40 mL. What is the uncertainty associated with the 50 mL beaker.
Juliette [100K]
If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Project 3.

Explanation:

Project 3's anticipated cost is 12 to 17 million dollars. It is a <em>lower </em>anticipated cost than Project 2 and Project 4, but <em>higher</em> than Project 1 by one million dollars at maximum cost anticipation. Additionally, the percentage of wildlife to benefit is 70-80%, which is <em>second</em> to the most wildlife to benefit which is Project 4 at 75-80%.

And finally, for community support for Project 3 - the chart lists it as high. This outclasses Project 2 and Project 4, but balances with Project 1. However, Project 1 costs 13 to 16 million dollars and <em>only</em> benefits 15-25% of wildlife.

The smallest ionic radius among the following. <br> Li<br> Mg<br> Na+<br> be+
dimaraw [331]
The correct answer is Be+

That is because it lost a single electron but still has the same number of protons, and thus the effective charge attracting each electron is greater, which in turn makes the radius even smaller
