Hello!
The coefficients of any chemical compound are located in the front.
We are asked to find the coefficient of CaCl2 when the equation is balanced. Before finding the coefficient, we should determine if the equation is balanced or not.
Right side: 1 Ca, 2 H, 2 Cl
Left side: 1 Ca, 2 H, 2 Cl → This equation is balanced!
Since the compound CaCl2 has no number in from of the compound, the coefficient has to 1.
Therefore, the coefficient for CaCl2 is 1.
Na₂O is an ionic compound. Na is in group 1 which means it has one electron in the outer shell. O is in group 6 so it has 6 electrons in the outer shell.
To become stable atoms need to either lose the electrons in the outer shell or gain electrons to gain a complete outer shell configuration.
To become stable Na loses its outer electron and becomes positively charged. It only loses one electron, so net charge is +1. O to become stable gains 2 electrons to complete its outer shell and becomes negatively charged. since it gains 2 electrons, the net charge is -2.
cation - Na⁺
anion - O²⁻
O gains 2 electrons but Na can give only one electron, therefore 2 Na⁺ ions are required.
the compound can be written by exchanging the charges
ions Na⁺ O²⁻
charge +1 -2
exchange Na₂O
Correct answer is <span>Na has +1 charge and O has -2 charge</span>
