Answer: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Explanation: The element with atomic number 20 consists 20 electrons and  as atomic number is specific to an element, atomic number is of element calcium.

The nearest noble gas to calcium is argon with 18 electrons with configuartion 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6 according to afbau's rule, in which orbitals are arranged in order of increasing energies.

Thus electronic configuartion of calcium in terms of noble gas configuration is:

Ca:20:[Ar]4s^2

What is an ion and how is it formed?
grin007 [14]

Answer: Ions are an atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. They are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule and have full outer valence electron shells.

Explanation:

When they lose electrons, they become positively charged and are named cations. When they gain electrons, they are negatively charged and are named anions.

Classify each statement as a property of ethers, alcohols, or both ethers and alcohols?
natita [175]

Explanation:

1. Only alcohols forms hydrogen bond  between themselves and with other compounds containing an O-H, N-H, or F-H bond, such as water.

2. Alcohols up to 4 carbons are miscible in water because they have hydrogen bonded to oxygen and can form hydrogen bond with water. However, it is not possible for ethers.

3. When comparing ethers and alcohols of similar molecular weights, ethers have lower boiling point than alcohol. This is because of the presence of hydrogen bond in alcohols.

Molecules can be dissolved? Why?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Dissolving is when the solute breaks up from a larger crystal of molecules into much smaller groups or individual molecules. This break up is caused by coming into contact with the solvent. In the case of salt water, the water molecules break off salt molecules from the larger crystal lattice.
