The two atoms shown in the equation are CALCIUM and oxygen. 

<span>You start off with a neutral calcium atom with a shell of two electrons, a shell of 8 around that, a shell of 8 around that, and a shell containing 2...with no charge. </span>
<span>20 protons + 20 electrons. </span>

<span>You also have an oxygen atom with a shell of 2, and a shell of 6...with no charge. </span>
<span>8 protons + 8 electrons. </span>

<span>Each ionizes to form a calcium ion with 2 electrons removed (from the outer shell), leaving a +2 charge (20 protons, 18 electrons)... </span>
<span>and an oxygen ion with 2 electrons added (to the outer shell), leaving a -2 charge (8 protons, 10 electrons). </span>

<span>Their electrostatic attraction causes them to come together to form an ionic compound of CaO in a crystal lattice.</span>

When an iron nail is ground into powder, its mass ____.
Gre4nikov [31]

Explanation:

(a) The mass of an object remains the same always. It is independent of its location. In this case, an iron nail is ground into powder. It means that its mass will remain unchanged. Hence, (a) is the correct option.

(b) Whenever there is a change of color of an object, a chemical reaction occurs. It shows that a reaction happens there. In this problem, a paper turns yellow-brown upon exposure to sunlight. A chemical reaction takes place there. Hence, (b) is the correct option.
