<u>Explanation</u>:
A chemical equation is said to be balanced when the total number of atoms present on the reactants side is equal to the total number of atoms present on the product side.
The unbalanced chemical equation is as follows,
Ca
(
s
)
+
N
2
(

) → Ca
3

(

To balance this equation, you need to look at how many atoms of each element are present on each side of the chemical equation.
Calcium has 1 atom on the reactant and 3 on the products side. To balance the reaction we need to multiply the calcium atom by 3 on the reactants side.

Now Nitrogen has a coefficient of 2 on both sides of the reaction. Hence the balanced chemical equation will thus be

the big number describes the number ratio in a chemical equation
so for example,
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O means
2 moles of hydrogen reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water
and as you know, the small (subscript) number determines the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of a compound
so I believe that drawing a normal lewis structure ( O=O ) should be correct
Particles as small as atoms exist.

<h3>Explanation</h3>
Helium is a noble gas. The interaction between two helium molecules is rather weak, which makes the gas rather "ideal."
Consider the ideal gas law:
,
where
is the pressure of the gas,
is the volume of the gas, 
is the number of gas particles in the gas, 
is the ideal gas constant, and
is the absolute temperature of the gas in degrees Kelvins.
The question is asking for the final volume of the gas. Rearrange the ideal gas equation for volume:
.
Both the temperature of the gas, , and the pressure on the gas changed in this process. To find the new volume of the gas, change one variable at a time.
Start with the absolute temperature of the gas:
,
.
The volume of the gas is proportional to its temperature if both and stay constant.
- won't change unless the balloon leaks, and
- consider to be constant, for calculations that include .
.
Now, keep the temperature at 
and change the pressure on the gas:
,
.
The volume of the gas is proportional to the reciprocal of its absolute temperature 
if both and stays constant. In other words,
(3 sig. fig. as in the question.).
See if you get the same result if you hold constant, change , and then move on to change .
Answer:
It would be an isotope.
Background Information:
Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.
Explanation:
If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.
