8 0

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Calcium is the 20th element. It has 20 electrons in it's neutral state. The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

However in the compound; calcium chloride, it does not exist in it's neutral state.

CaCl2 --> Ca2+   +   Cl-

In Ca2+ state, it has lost two electrons, The total number of electrons becomes; 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

The mass lost by the positive electron should equal the mass gained by the negative electrode suggest two reasons why the result
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The gain in mass by the negative electrode is the same as the loss in mass by the positive electrode. So the copper deposited on the negative electrode must be the same copper ions that are lost from the positive electrode.
