The Calcium ion is an Alkaline earth metal and wants to give up the 2 s orbital elections and become a +2 cation.
Oxygen has six valence electrons and is looking to gain two electrons to complete the octet (8) electron count in the valence shell making it a -2 anion.
When the charges of the Calcium +2 and the Oxygen -2 are equal and opposite, the ions for an electrical attraction. (Remember Paula Abdul told us "Opposites Attract")
This one to one ratio of charges makes the formula CaO
Answer:
The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.
The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.
Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.
Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.
Mass of the water : 2.23 g
<h3>Furter explanation</h3>
Heat
Q = m.c.Δt
m= mass, g
c = heat capacity, for water : 4.18 J/g° C.
ΔT = temperature
Q= 140 J
Δt = 75 - 60 = 15
mass of the water :
