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>

What is the molecular formula of a compound containing 89% cesium (Cs) and 11% oxygen (O) with a molar mass = 298 g/mol?
Maurinko [17]
M(Cs)=133 g/mol
M(O)=16 g/mol
M(CsxOy)=298 g/mol
w(Cs)=0.89
w(O)=0.11

CsxOy

x=M(CsxOy)w(Cs)/M(Cs)
x=298*0.89/133=2

y=M(CsxOy)w(O)/M(O)
y=298*0.11/16=2
