An ion is a charged particle that is formed when an atom gains electrons or an atom loses electrons.

First you need to know the definition of ion. An ion is a molecule or atom that has a positive or negative electrical charge. That is, an ion is an atom whose electric charge is not neutral. This charged particle can be positive or negative.

Ionization is the chemical or physical process by which ions are produced. In this process, negatively charged ions are produced by gaining electrons and are known as anions. The positively charged are produced by the loss of electrons and are known as cations.

In summary, an ion is a charged particle that is formed when an atom gains electrons or an atom loses electrons, and they are known as cations and anions respectively. The correct answer is both A and B.

Answer:

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_{18}H_{24}O_2$ .

Explanation:

Molar mass of of estradiol = M= 272.37 g/mol

Let the molecular formula of estradiol be $C_xH_yO_z$

Percentage of an element in a compound:

$\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100$

Percentage of carbon in estradiol :

$\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=79.37\%$

x = 18.0

Percentage of hydrogen in estradiol :

$\frac{y\times 1g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=8.88\%$

y = 24.2 ≈ 24

Percentage of oxygen in estradiol :

$\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=11.75\%$

z = 2

The molecular formula of estradiol is: $C_xH_yO_z:C_{18}H_{24}O_2$

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 69ga with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and 71ga. use th

Nataly [62]

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium: mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

$69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})$

Thus,

$69.723 amu=41.4312 amu+X(\frac{39.89}{100})$

Rearranging,

$X=\frac{69.723 amu-41.4312 amu}{0.3989}=70.9246 amu$

Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding

Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.

The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
