Endothermic reaction is the reaction in which the system absorbs energy. The system absorbs heat and cools the surroundings. Reactants are the substances that are involved in the reaction and at the end of the reaction product are formed.
In the endothermic reaction because heat is absorbed , the products have a higher heat.
Your answer is D. 8
16 = 2^4
72 = 2^3*3^2
So you'll choose 2^3 = 8
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.
Answer: Antoine Lavoisier.
He classified the elements into four groups: elastic fluids, nonmetals, metals and earths. Some of the called elementes were not really elements (light and heat). Others were compounds, e.g. hydrochloric acid.
