How many electrons will calcium gain or lose in forming an ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Calcium can lose 2 electrons to make the ion calcium, following this equation:

Ca → Ca2⁺  + 2e⁻

Explanation:

Calcium is the third element of group TWO in the periodic table. As it belongs to group two, it means that can lose 2 electrons to get the noble gas configuration that corresponds. It is a metal from the group of alkali earth metals.  

Since its tendency is to lose electrons, it is said to form charged ions (+)

Wally fluoride is an imaginary gaseous
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

\rho =1.96\frac{g}{L}

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this imaginary gas can be modelled as an ideal gas, we can write:

PV=nRT

Which can be written in terms of density and molar mass as shown below:

\frac{P}{RT} =\frac{n}{V} \\\\\frac{P}{RT} =\frac{m}{MM*V}\\\\\frac{P*MM}{RT} =\frac{m}{V}=\rho

Thus, by computing the pressure in atmospheres, the resulting density would be:

\rho = \frac{165/760 atm * 314.2 g/mol}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*425K} \\\\\rho =1.96\frac{g}{L}

Best regards!

Outline how fresh water could be extracted from salt water if fresh water was no longer available.
leva [86]

You can boil the salt water. The water will evaporate while the salt will be left behind because it's a solid. Salt has a much higher boiling point than water (2,575° F), so that's why it won't evaporate with the water.

What is true of a sample of gas as temperature is increased?
aniked [119]

Answer:

The particles move faster, and their average kinetic energy increases.

Explanation:

When the temperature of gases increases the reaction rates will increase. Molecules of gases will be furnished with higher kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature. Increase in temperature causes the frequency of ordinary collisions and effective collisions per unit time to increase. This leads to a surge in kinetic energy too.

As a team, determine the rules for naming binary ionic compounds that have a "special" transition metal in it when given the for
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Metal name (charge in roman numerals) Non metal

for example Iron (III) chloride

Explanation:

The rule for naming special transition metal are as follows -

a) First name the transition metal

b) Now write the name of the non metal in the chemical formula.

c) Write the charge for the non metal.

d) If there is a polyatomic ion, write the Common Ion Table ,its formula and charge.

e) Based on the total charge on the non-metal or polyatomic ion, deduce the total charge on the transition metal

f) Write the charge of transition metal after the name of metal in Roman Numeral in parentheses
