Answer:
Explanation:
Calcium is the element of the group 2 and period 4 which means that the valence electronic configuration is ![[Ar]4s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BAr%5D4s%5E2)
.
Chlorine is the element of the group 17 and period 3 which means that the valence electronic configuration is ![[Ne]3s^23p^5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNe%5D3s%5E23p%5E5)
.
Thus, calcium losses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of chlorine and these 2 atoms of chlorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.
Ca Cl
2 1
Cross multiplying the valency, We get,
Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is .
Answer:
A)P5010
Explanation:
Penta- means 5 and deca/deco- means 10
1/8=(1/2)^3 and the half life of radon is 3.8days
Half life is the time it takes for half of any amount of a radioactive substance to decay into something else.
Therefore for a sample of radon to decay to 1/8 of its original amount, it would take 3 x 3.8days=11.4 days
The on that is considered a physical change is : A. Sawing a piece of wood in half
When you cut a piece of wood, the chemical compound within the wood will not change at all, which mean that it's a physical change

Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%
Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium
= 24.3050amu
Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu
Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu
Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu
Total abundance = 1
Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10
Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.
x+0.10+y =1
x = 0.90-y
M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope
24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y
Substitute x= 0.90-y
Then
y = 0.11
Since y=0.11, then
x= 0.90-0.11
x=0.79
Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%
