The chemical formula of calcium oxide is Cao. What is the valency of calcium?

Chemistry
2 answers:
alexandr402 [8]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

2

Explanation:

In calcium oxide, the calcium is electropositive in nature and to fulfil its octet, the calcium atoms lose two electrons to form the calcium cations whose valency is 2, hence the corresponding anion, i.e. the oxide anion must also have valency 2 to balance the positive charge on the calcium cation.

Lets look out the Electronic configuration of Calcium(Ca)

  • Z=20

EC:-

\\ \rm\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

  • Valency is 2

If a 12-volt battery produces a current of 20 amps, what is the resistance?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

0.6 Ω

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

From Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where:

V => is the voltage

I => is the current

R => R is the resistance

With the above formula, we can obtain the resistance as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 20 A

Resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 20 × R

Divide both side by 20

R = 12 / 20

R = 0.6 Ω

Thus the resistance is 0.6 Ω

Does sodium (Na) and argon (Ar) on the periodic table have similar properties? Explain in terms of location on the periodic tabl
iVinArrow [24]

Sodium (Na) and Argon (Ar) on the periodic table does not have similar properties.

PERIODIC TABLE:

  • Periodic table is the organized table that showcases the position of elements. The periodic table is organized into groups and periods.

  • Groups of the periodic table is in a vertical format labeled 1 - 7 while the period is in a horizontal format labeled 1 - 7.

  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence, possess similar chemical properties.

  • Sodium (Na) belongs to group 1 while argon is a noble gas, hence, they are not in the same group of the periodic table and cannot have same properties.

What energy conversion takes place<br> as a leaf falls to the ground?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is kinetic energy</h3>

Explanation:

<h2>The answer is Kinetic Energy because take for an example,  When an apple falls from the tree to the ground, its energy of position is then made into kinetic energy, the energy of motion, as it falls to the ground. </h2>
