How will the calcium atom shown below achieve an octet if it takes part in an ionic bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

It will lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

Here we have a calcium atom, which has 20 electrons.

Those 20 electrons are in 4 shells. (2-8-8-2)

Saying there are 2 electrons in the valence shell (Shell N), to get to an octet with an ionic bond (with a group 16 element), those 2 electrons will have to go.

What is the main reason metals such as silver and copper are used in making coins
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The alloys used to make coins are usually Copper, Zinc and Nickel. There are several reasons: The alloy must be very hard to withstand the use and circulation of the coin to not wear out soon. Then, the alloy must have a value less than the value of the currency to avoid that are founded and sold as mere metals.

How many atoms are in 52.3 g of lithium hypochlorite (LiClO)?​
garri49 [273]

Answer:

1.62 × 10²⁴ atoms are in 52.3 g of lithium hypochlorite.

Explanation:

To find the amount of atoms that are in 52.3 g of lithium hypochlorite, we must first find the amount of moles. We do this by dividing by the molar mass of lithium hypochlorite.

52.3 g ÷ 58.4 g/mol = 0.896 mol

Next we must find the amount of formula units, we do this be multiplying by Avagadro's number.

0.896 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ = 5.39 × 10²³ f.u.

Now to get the amount of atoms we can multiply the amount of formula units by the amout of atoms in one formula unit.

5.39 × 10²³ f.u. × 3 atom/f.u. = 1.62 × 10²⁴ atoms

1.62 × 10²⁴ atoms are in 52.3 g of lithium hypochlorite.

Which electrons are responsible for the emission of colored lights and how is emission occurring?
densk [106]

Answer:

When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.
