Answer: 2.8
Explanation: just took the quiz
Answer: With atomic number 20, calcium atoms have 20 positive protons, and the ion has only 18 electrons, which means the net charge is +2. Calcium ions are essential for muscle contractions, nerve impulses, and bone maintenance.
:
Electron - negligible mass, negative charge, orbits the nucleus
Proton - 1 AMU, positive charge, in the nucleus
Neutron, 1 AMU, no charge, in the nucleus
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
Answer:
15.Potassium oxide
16.Calcium chloride
17.Aluminium sulphide
18.CaS
Explanation:
15.K is the chemical symbol of Potassium and generally the name of the non-metal at the end of a formula has the suffix '-ide' and since O is oxygen, the name becomes Potassium oxide.
16. The same applies here. Ca is Calcium and Cl is Chlorine but since its the non-metal at the end, it ends in -ide. So Calcium chloride.
17.The same applies here too. Al is Aluminium and S is Sulphur so Aluminium sulphide.
18. Calcium's symbol is Ca and that of Sulphur is S and that gives the formula CaS.
