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

Describe the ammonium ion, NH4+, and the sulfate ion, SO42-. What compounds would these ions form with potassium and fluoride io
frozen [14]
<span>Cations mix with anions, so you know NH4+ won't mix with K+ and SO4(2-) won't miix with F-. For the reason that NH4+ and F- together have single charges, they'll mix in a 1:1 ratio, NH4F. There's two charges on SO4(2-), so it'll need two K+ to mix with, K2SO4.</span>

The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms in a molecule of dicyclohexyl maleate is 4 to 6 to 1. what is its mo
Semenov [28]
Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula: 

<span>C4H6O </span>

<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>

<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>

<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>

<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>

<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>

<span>C16H24O4 </span>
