5 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Calcium is divalent. This means that it donates two electrons during ionic bond formation. Since chlorine atom can only accept one electron during ionic bond formation, two chlorine atoms must accept the two electrons donated by calcium.

For this purpose, each time CaCl2 is formed, there must be two chlorine atoms for each calcium atom.

sergey [27]

Answer:

The natural phenomenon used to describe the length of a meter is the speed of light. The length of a meter is the length a light path travels in 1/(299792458) seconds through a vacuum.

The definition is better due to the uncertainty involved in the use of the length of a standard meter stick because the length of the meter stick could change due to atmospheric conditions from place to place
