Covalent bonds exist between two nonmetal elements while ionic bonds exist between a metal and a nonmetal element. In this case, oxygen is a nonmetal and in order to create an ionic bond, the other substance should be a metal. The answer therefore to this problem is calcium.

\boxed{\left( 1 \right){\text{ calcium}}} reacts with oxygen to form ionic bonds.

Further Explanation:

Covalent bonds are the types of bonds that involve the sharing of electrons between the bonded atoms. This bond is usually formed between two or more non-metals.

Ionic bonds are the chemical bonds that involve the transference of electrons from one atom to another. These bonds are generally formed between metals and non-metals. In these types of bonds, ions are formed by the atoms. Cations are formed by the loss of electrons and anions result from the gain of electrons.

Oxygen is a non-metal. In order to form an ionic bond with oxygen, the other element has to be a metal.

Hydrogen, chlorine, and nitrogen are non-metals so these can form covalent bonds with oxygen. But calcium is a metal and it forms ionic bonds with oxygen. Calcium loses two electrons to form {\text{C}}{{\text{a}}^{2 + }} and these electrons are gained by oxygen, resulting in the formation of {{\text{O}}^{2 - }}. The attraction between {\text{C}}{{\text{a}}^{2 + }} and {{\text{O}}^{2 - }} is an ionic bond and the resulting compound is CaO (For structure, refer to the attached image).

Which element has the ground state electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p3?
Natalka [10]
Its phosphorus (P)In writing the electron configuration for Phosphorus the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for Phosphorous go in the 2s orbital. The next six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s. Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the remaining three electrons. Therefore the Phosphorus electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s23p3.

What is the normal pH range of a Base?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

7.35 - 7.45

Explanation:

The pH scale ranges from 0 (strongly acidic) to 14 (strongly basic or alkaline). A pH of 7.0, in the middle of this scale, is neutral. Blood is normally slightly basic, with a normal pH range of about 7.35 to 7.45. Usually, the body maintains the pH of blood close to 7.40.

Hope this helps
