How many electrons does calcium have in its outermost shell

Chemistry
1 answer:
galben [10]3 years ago
3 0
Two electrons.


Yes, calcium is defined as a metal because of both its physical and chemical traits. They all have an outer shell with two electrons and are very reactive. Those elements in the second column have two electrons ready to make compounds. It shouldn't surprise you that calcium has a valence of 2.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

A.) Absorb and store

Explanation:

The reaction for photosynthesis is:

6CO_{2}+ 12H_{2}  O → C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}  +6H_{2} O  (reaction conditions: light and chlorophyll)

<em>carbon dioxide + water → glucose + water</em>

<em />

This means light energy is <u>absorbed</u> and <u>stored</u> as sugar molecules and energy for the plant

Therefore, the photosynthesis reaction will <u>  absorb  </u> energy and <u>  store  </u> it in the chemical bonds.

What is oxidized and what is reduced <br> C2H4 + 2O2 → 2CO + 2H2O<br> C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
Anika [276]

C2H4 is oxidized and O2 is reduced in both reactions.

<h3>What is oxidation/reduction?</h3>

Oxidation is defined in several ways. Some of the definitions are:

  1. The addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen
  2. Increase in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electronegative or the removal of electropositive elements

Reduction, on the other hand, is defined as:

  1. Removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen
  2. Decrease in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electropositive elements or the removal of electronegative elements.

In the two reactions, oxygen is being added to C2H4. Thus, C2H4 is being oxidized.

The oxidizing agent is O2. In oxidation reactions, the oxidizing agents usually get reduced. Thus, O2 is reduced in both reactions.

How many moles are in 2.1 x 10^{24} molecules SiO4
lozanna [386]

Answer: 3.5 moles

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 molecules

So, 1 mole of SiO4 = 6.02 x 10^23 molecules

Zmoles of SiO4 = 2.1 x 10^{24} molecules

To get the value of Z, cross multiply:

(2.1 x 10^{24} molecules x 1mole) = (6.02 x 10^23 molecules x Z moles)

2.1 x 10^{24} molecules = (6.02 x 10^23 x Z)

Z = (2.1 x 10^{24}) ➗ (6.02 x 10^23)

Z = 3.5 moles

Thus, there are 3.5 moles of SiO4.

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 22.8g of butane react
Juliette [100K]
Butane undergoes combustion to produce carbon dioxide and water, expressed in the following reaction <span> C4H10 (g) + O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g) . 1 mole of butane is to 4 moles of CO2. In this case, when 22.8 grams of butane or 0.393 moles of it, 69.18 grams of carbon dioxide is produced</span>
