Answer:
A cation is formed when a metal ion loses a valence electron while an anion is formed when a non-metal gains a valence electron. They both achieve a more stable electronic configuration through this exchange.
Answer:
CaCO3
Explanation:
The molecule is formed by the calcium cation Ca+2 and the carbonate anion CO3−2.
Carbon dioxide consists of the elements Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O) and you have to have 2 oxygen.
Elements with three p-electrons....
That would be N, P, As, Sb, and Bi -- elements in group 15

According to Hund's rule, the electrons singly occupy the p-orbitals, and all have the same spin.
