Calcium forms an ion with a positive 2 charge and chlorine forms an ion with a negative one charg, so the formula is <span>CaC<span>l2</span></span>
Group 1 metals and group 2 metals form positive ions by losing 1 and 2 electrons respectively. Non-metals in group 17 gain 1, group 16 gain 2 and group 15 gain 3. Elements which lose electrons form positive ions while elements that gain electrons form negative ions.
To write a formula, you must balance charges so the overall charge is zero. A simple way to do this is to swap the # of the ion's charge and make it the subscript of the other ion. However, leave off the number 1 and reduce to lowest whole number ratio.
Answer: the answer is D im pretty sure
Explanation:
Answer: through your diet
Answer:
CCl2=CCl2
Explanation:
Recall that the individual dipole moments in a symmetrical molecule cancel out each other thereby making the overall molecule to be non polar.
CCl2=CCl2 contain individual polar bonds but the molecule is highly symmetrical thus its dipole cancel out and the molecule has no overall dipole moment, hence CCl2=CCl2 has a dipole moment of zero .
