To become an ion a calcium atom would have to lose 2 electrons.
Answer:
2 electrons from magnesium (Mg) is transferred to oxygen (O2) to form Mg2+ and O2-
which combines by strong electrostatic force to form MgO
the equation is
2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
The empirical formula is Fe₃O₄.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.
The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Fe to O.
I like to summarize the calculations in a table.
<u>Element</u> <u>Moles</u> <u>Ratio</u>¹ <u>×3</u>² <u>Integers</u>³
Fe 0.77 1 3 3
O 1.0 1.3 3.9 4
¹ To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (0.77).
² If the ratio is not close to an integer, multiply by a number (in this case, 3) to get numbers that are close to integers.
³ Round off these numbers to integers (3 and 4).
The empirical formula is Fe₃O₄.
Answer:
Isotopes of an element share the same number of protons but have different numbers of neutrons. ... This means that all three isotopes have different atomic masses (carbon-14 being the heaviest), but share the same atomic number (Z=6).
Explanation:
The state of atoms in a neon light when light is emitted is loss of energy.
