Answer:
There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.
Explanation:
Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.
<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>
Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.

One important measure of the rate at which a radioactive substance decays is called half-life, or t1/2. Half-life is the amount of time needed for one half of a given quantity of a substance to decay. Half-lives as short as 10–6 second and as long as 109 years are common.
<span>Step 1 is to determine the mass of each part
Mass of Ca is 40.08 g
Mass of C is 12.01 g
Mass of O is 16.00 x 3 = 48.00 g
Step 2 is to determine the total mass of the compound
Total mass of CaCO3 is 40.08 + 12.01 + 48.00 = 100.09 g
Step 3 is to determine the % of each part using the following formula:
Mass of part / total mass x 100 =
40.08 / 100.09 x 100 = 40.04 % Ca
12.01 / 100.09 x 100 = 12.00 % C
48.00 / 100.09 x 100 = 47.96 % O
Step 4 is to double check by adding all percentages. If they equal 100, then I probably did it right. :)
40.04
+12.00
+47.96
=100.00</span><span>

See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:
In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:
Se = x
O = -2
x + (-2)*2 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4.
Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.
In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.
Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.
Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).
