Answer:

Ca - 66%, P - 34%

Explanation:

So, this is the formula we can use to find the amount of each element:

Element count * Atomic mass = Mass

Plug in our elements for this:

Ca - 3*40.078=120.234

P - 2*30.973=61.946

Now, to find the percentage of mass, we must find total mass, and divide the two elements mass count by this total mass:

120.234+61.946=182.18

Now divide each element mass by the total mass:

Ca - 120.234/182.18=0.6599(Round to 0.65)

P - 61.946/182.18=0.34002(Round to 0.34)

Then multiply both numbers by 100 to get the percentage:

Ca - 65%

P - 34%

So these our your two answer!

Hope this helps!

nasty-shy [4]
The correct answer is:
d) No, it is not feasible. three metallic ions cannot provide the exact number of electrons that one sulfur needs for the ionic bond.
Because Sulfur is divalent so it need to gain 2 electrons from metal so if we have 3 metals they can't provide only two electrons only.

Answer:  


AB is an ionic compound. The electronegativity difference between A and B is greater.  


AC is an ionic compound. The electronegativity difference between A and C is greater.  


BC is a covalent compound because the electronegativity difference between C and B is small.

Which term represents the fixed proportion of elements in a compound
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Chemical formula.

Explanation:

A chemical formula have fix proportion of atoms of elements.

Chemical formula:

A chemical formula is the way of presenting the chemical proportion of atoms of those elements, that combine to form a compound.

For example:

Water consist of two atom of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e water. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 2:1 in molecule of water.

H₂O

2:1

Carbon dioxide consist of two atom of oxygen and one atom of carbon. The atoms of both elements combine to form a compound i.e carbon dioxide. The atoms of both elements always combine in a fixed ratio which is 1:2 in molecule of carbon dioxide .

CO₂

1;2
