When electrons are removed from the outermost shell of calcium atom, its atom becomes positively charged, with a charge of plus one.

When an electron is added to an atom, the atom becomes negatively charged, with a charge of minus one.

When these atoms become positively or negatively charged, they are known as ions. Positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions.

Calcium is identified as one of the cations because it is positively charged when its electrons are removed from its outermost shell.

Platinum crystallizes in a face-centered cubic cell. the density of platinum is 21.4 g/cm3. calculate the radius of the platinum
IgorLugansk [536]
1 mole of platinum has a mass of 195 g therefore 1 atom will have a mass of 195 g /(6.02 ×10^23) = 3.239 × 10^-22 g
Density is given by dividing mass by volume, thus to get volume, mass is divided by density. 
The volume = (3.239 × 10^-22)/21.4 
                    = 1.514 × 10^-23 cm³
But volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Therefore, r³ = 3.6129 × 10^-24 
                 r   = ∛(3.6129 × 10^-24)
                      = 1.534 × 10^ -8 cm
Therefore, the radius of the platinum atom is 1.534 × 10^-8 cm

The label on a bottle of medicine reads​ "Each 5 mL teaspoonful contains​ glucose, 1.87​ g; levulose, 1.87​ g; and phosphoric​ a
Alexandra [31]

(a) 43.6 mg; (b) 520 mg

(a) <em>Mass of phosphoric acid (PA) in a dose </em>

Mass of PA = 2 tsp × (21.8 mg PA/1 tsp) = 43.6 mg PA

(b) <em>Mass of PA in the bottle </em>

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>ounces to millilitres </em>

Volume = 4 oz × (30 mL/1 oz) = 120 mL

<em>Step 2.</em> Calculate the mass of PA

Mass of PA = 120 mL × (21.8 mg PA/5 mL) ≈ 520 mg PA
