Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.
Two objects are dropped from a height of 100 m.
If one object is heavier than the
other object, which of the following is true?
(Note: ignore air resistance)
(a) The heavier object will experience equal force
and accelerate more slowly.
(b) The heavier object will experience more force
and accelerate more quickly
(c) The heavier object will experience equal force
and accelerate at the same rate
(d) The heavier object will experience more force
and accelerate at the same rate
The sun heats up the atmosphere at the equator. The dense water sinks under and forms deep water masses under the ocean current. Then it gets wind due to the air current and this brings currents at the surface if the ocean.
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are the most important elements!
