The answer to this question would be: alkaline earth metal
Alkali earth metal is the second column group of the periodic table. In this group, the element has 2 extra electrons in their outer cells. That is why most of this metal has 2+ charge.
Their neighbor is the alkali metal which was the first column of the periodic table. The name is similar so don't confused and mix them each other.
Calcium forms an ion with a positive 2 charge and chlorine forms an ion with a negative one charg, so the formula is <span>CaC<span>l2</span></span>
Group 1 metals and group 2 metals form positive ions by losing 1 and 2 electrons respectively. Non-metals in group 17 gain 1, group 16 gain 2 and group 15 gain 3. Elements which lose electrons form positive ions while elements that gain electrons form negative ions.
To write a formula, you must balance charges so the overall charge is zero. A simple way to do this is to swap the # of the ion's charge and make it the subscript of the other ion. However, leave off the number 1 and reduce to lowest whole number ratio.
Answer: I would go with D.
Explanation: Sorry if it is incorrect
The wavelength of a sound wave moving at 340 m/s and with a frequency of 256 Hz is calculated using the the below formula
wavelength = speed of the wave/frequency
speed of the wave = 340 m/s
frequency = 256 Hz
wavelength is therefore = 340/256 = 1.32 m
