Rocks at Earth's surface are attacked by rain and wind. They are also attacked by ice. Pieces of rock are broken off. This is called weathering. it happens over thousands of years.

There are two main ways in which rock breaks down to form soil:

Physical weathering

Chemical weathering

Calcium forms ions with a charge of +2. Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Which of the following would represent an ionic c
astra-53 [7]

 The   formula that would represent an ionic  compound  that is composed of calcium and iodide ions  is   CaI2

 Explanation

Ionic compound  CaI₂ is formed  when Calcium form cation ( <em>a positively charged ion</em>) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form  anion ( <em>a negatively charged ion</em>)  by  gaining one electron each.

When writing down   formula of ionic compound, the formula  of cation  is written  first followed by anion  formula. therefore  Ca is written  first  followed by I.

The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved  in bonding.

Which of the following has more atoms?
aniked [119]

Answer:

They all have the same number of atoms

Explanation:

Which of the following has more atoms?

One mole of zinc

One mole of gold

One mole of silver

One mole of magnesium contians  

O They all have the same number of atomst

a mole of anything contains Avogadros number of 6.022X10^23  things

which has the greatest number of thing? a dozen eggs, a dozen cookies, a dozen pizzas?

a dozen is a number means 12

a mole is a number that that means 6.022 X 10^23 you calculate the molar mass from the chemical formula, but every j mole contains 6.022X10^23

particles.

just like every dozen contains 12

so

They all have the same number of atoms

<u>Answer 2 :</u> The given electronic configuration for a neutral atom of phosphorous in its ground state is incorrect.

Explanation :

A neutral atom of phosphorous has 15 electrons.

The given electronic configuration is incorrect.

The reason is, According to Aufbau principle, the electrons will be first filled in the sub-shell having lower orbital energy. As from the given configuration, 3p sub-shell has lower orbital energy than 4s sub-shell. So, the electrons will be filled in 3p sub-shell first. Hence, the ground state electronic configuration of neutral atom of phosphorous is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3

<u>Answer 3 :</u>

Element                     Rubidium              Magnesium                Aluminium

Symbol                             Rb                         Mg                              Al

Group number                  1                             2                               13

Number of valence          1                             2                                3

electrons

The order of general reactivity on the basis of number of valence electrons.

Rb > Mg > Al

Reason : The reactivity is determined by the number of electrons present in the outermost shell that means the element which have 1 valence electron will be more reactive because they can easily lose electrons.
