I know what you're asking but I don't think the question is stated properly. Technically, an atom will not join with an "oxide" ion; i.e., the oxide ion is an atom of oxygen to which two electrons have been added. An oxide ion will add to 2 K ions or 1 Ca ion. The K ion has lost just one electron so it takes two of them to equal the 2- charge on the oxide ion whereas the Ca ion has lost two electrons and it takes only one of them to equal the charge on the oxide ion.

Why is it important to collect all data during experiments, rather than make inferences of what will happen?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It is important to collect all data first, or else your guesses could purely be the opposite of the right answer. If you make inferences of what might happen, your guesses may be purely fictional, and totally off-topic. During experiments, this step is important.
