Ionic compounds are compounds made up of elements in which one has the tendency to loose electrons whereas the other has the tendency to gain electrons. Loss of electron results in the formation of a positively charged ion (cation) while gain of electrons results in the formation of negatively charged ions (anions). Usually metals have the tendency to loose electrons and non-metals tend to gain electrons.

Calcium (Ca) is a metal and belongs to group IIA in the periodic table with a valence electron configuration of 4s2

Fluorine (F) is a non-metal and belongs to group VIIA in the periodic table with a valence configuration of 2s22p5.

Thus, Ca will donate its outer 2 electrons to F, thus allowing each of the electronegative F atoms to complete its octet.

Therefore, we have:

Ca2+   +    F-        ------   CaF2

What effect do ocean and wind currents have on land temperatures?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

For question #12, use the following picture:<br><br> 12. What element is this? How do you know?
labwork [276]

Answer: The element shown in the image is Helium (He).

Explanation: We are given a image of an atom having protons, neutrons and electrons.

Number of protons as shown in image = 2

Number of neutrons as shown in image = 2

Number of electron as shown in image = 2

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Atomic number of the element = 2

Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 2 + 2 = 4

The element having Atomic number = 2 and mass number = 4 is Helium.

Element = ^4_2\textrm{He}

andrezito [222]

Answer:

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

Explanation:

Generally when it comes to changes, there are physical and chemical changes. In physical changes, there are no new substances been formed, however in chemical change new substances are formed.

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

This is a chemical change.

B . Bubbles forming when a pot of water is heated

This is a physical change

C. A pair of jeans soaked in water drying after hanging outside

This is a physical change

D . A block of ice decreasing in size due to a change in temperature

This is a physical change.

Only option A is different from the rest,hence this is the answer.

What does ''Isotope'' means? &amp;from which language that drives from? answer to me then you will have 20 points help me then y
coldgirl [10]

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.

The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".
