Answer:

It is CaSO4.2H2O

Explanation:

Calcium has a valence of 2 because it has only two valency electrons.

Sulphate ( SO4)^2- is a radical with a valence value of 2.

When Calcium combines with sulphate in bonding,

Formular ==>  Ca2(SO4)2

But the 2 cancel out.

Overall formular==> CaSO4

For hydrated, ==> CaSO4.H2O

What is a molecule???

ololo11 [35]

A molecule consists of group of atoms that are bonded together by chemical bond. It is the smallest particle of an element or a compound that has the properties of the element or the compound embedded in it. The atoms present in one element easily forms a bonding with the atoms of another element to form molecules. The size and complex nature of molecules varies hugely. Some molecules can have a single atom as is the case with helium, while in several other elements the number of atoms in the molecule can be more than one.
