Answer:
CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
Explanation:
The decomposition reaction always make two compounds from one.
The products always have simpler chemical structure, originated from a determined compound. This can happens spontaneously or by a third party.
A notable example of decomposition is hydrolysis. As for example the case of water, which decomposes and generates oxygen and hydrogen gas
2H₂O (l) → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)
In this case, the calium carbonate decomposes into CaO and CO₂
These two, are the products of the decomposition.
Of course, the unique reactant is the Calcium Carbonate
The balanced equation is:
CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
It is a poly atomic anion because it has more than one atom and a negative charge
Answer:
1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY
Explanation:
For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:
1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2
To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:
Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below
1s2 2s2 2p4
The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6
The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :
X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY
Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY
An early model of the atom was developed in 1913 by Danish scientist Niels Bohr (1885–1962). The Bohr model shows the atom as a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons with the electrons in circular orbitals at specific distances from the nucleus . These orbits form electron shells or energy levels, which are a way of visualizing the number of electrons in the various shells. These energy levels are designated by a number and the symbol "n." For example, 1n represents the first energy level located closest to the nucleus.
