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

How can an electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller? Both represent objects that move in a circular motion
adelina 88 [10]

The answer is that exact locations within either cannot be determined at any given moment in time.

An electron cloud be compared with a spinning airplane propeller in the manner that in both exact location within either cannot be determined at any given moment in time.

In both electron cloud as well as spinning airplane propeller, there is a probability of finding either but exact location can not be determined.
