Their are 4 valence electrons left, which means there is 2 lone pairs. I think.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical formula of calcium sulfide is CaS. Since there are two valence electrons in calcium and six valence electrons in sulfur.

So, in order to attain stability, calcium will donate its two extra electrons to the sulfur atom. Therefore, calcium sulfide is an ionic compound.

Thus, we can conclude that there will be only two lone pair of electrons in a calcium sulfide molecule.

Explain what is meant by the term "excited state" as it applies to an electron. Is an electron in an excited state higher or low
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Excited state of an electron is the state attained by an electron after it has absorbed energy and it moves further from the nucleus.

an electron is at higher energy when excited and at lower energy when at ground state.

an excited electron is less stable due to the decrease in the nuclear force of attraction and the grounded electron is more stable due to it's close distance to the nucleus.

CICLOS BIOGEOQUIMICOS: lugares en que encontramos el elemento del ciclo separando en bioticos y abioticos
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Los ciclos biogeoquímicos son definidos como la circulación de los elementos químicos entre organismos biológicos (es decir, el factor biótico del ciclo), y componentes geológicos inorgánicos del sistema (factores abióticos). En el ciclo del agua, por ejemplo, este elemento se encuentra esparcido en los ríos y arroyos, como así también en la atmósfera, desde donde fluye como lluvia hasta el suelo y puede ser ingerida por organismos vivos terrestres y es utilizada para llevar a cabo diversas funciones celulares.

Explanation:  

Los ciclos biogeoquímicos establecen un vinculo entre los factores bióticos y abióticos del ecosistema, de modo que la energía puede fluir libremente a través de ambas partes del sistema. Los seres vivos necesitan diferentes elementos químicos para sobrevivir, los cuales forma parte de los ciclos biogeoquímicos. En los ciclos biogeoquímicos los elementos se conocen como 'nutrientes' (micro y macronutrientes). Estos elementos se encuentran esparcidos tanto en la corteza de la tierra como en la biósfera. Los nutrientes son indispensables porque de ellos depende de que la energía fluya entre el componente inorgánico y orgánico del ciclo. Por otra parte, los nutrientes también circulan dentro del ciclo entre componentes bióticos de la cadena trófica, con lo cual no sólo los nutrientes sino también la energía fluye entre organismos, desde aquellos más basales en el sistema tales como plantas (ecosistemas terrestres) o algas (marinos), hasta los niveles superiores representados por especies animales hervívoras y carnívoras de tales ecosistemas.
