<h2><u>Answer</u> :</h2>
The most appropriate option is :
Since, they are the most abundant elements found in Earth's Crust.
A covalent bond would happen
They bond because they want to make their outer electron shells more stable
Hope this helps
Have a happy holidays
<span>The density of the solution =1.05 g/ml.
</span><span>The total mass of the resulting solution is = 398.7 g (CaCl2 + water)
</span>
Find moles of CaCl2 and water.
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 110 (approx.)
Moles of CaCl2 = 23.7 / 110 = 0.22
so, moles of Cl- ion = 2 x 0.22 = 0.44 (because each molecule of CaCl2 will give two Cl- ions)
Moles of water = 375 / 18 = 20.83
Now, Mole fraction of CaCl2 = (moles of CaCl2) / (total moles)
total moles = moles of Cl- ions + moles of Ca2+ ions + moles of water
= 0.44 + 0.22 + 20.83
=21.49
So, mole fraction = 0.44 / (21.49) = 0.02
Guess what !!! density is not used. No need
