Answer: <u>Four</u>Explanation: Calcium Sulfide is an ionic compound made up of Ca²⁺ and S²⁻.
Ca²⁺ is formed as,
Ca → Ca²⁺ + 2 e⁻
These two electrons are accepte by Sulfur as,
S + 2 e⁻ → S²⁻
So, before accepting 2 electrons S was having six valence electrons, after accepting two electrons from Ca it has 8 electrons which are present in four pairs as shown below,
Atoms with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons are isotopes of the same element.
Answer:
Radium
Explanation:
It has the highest atomic number so it would have more shells, making it larger than the others.
<span>The atomic number of a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons and the number of electrons of the atom. The atomic weight meanwhile is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.Hence we can say that the number of protons is 8 and the number of neutrons is 10. </span>
