Answer:

Ions are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells. When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

Caculate the number if moles of the following: 800. g of Ca

Maru [420]

Mole is equal to mass of the element divided by molar mass of the element. that is
mole=mass/molar mass
From periodic table calcium has a molar mass of 40 g/mol
moles is therefore =800g/40g/mol=20moles
