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.

Hope this helps... 0_0

Lets look out the Electronic configuration of Calcium(Ca)

  • Z=20

EC:-

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

  • Valency is 2

About which of the following can you ask scientific questions
Stels [109]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Scientific questions are question which are solved involving experiments, observations, or surveys.

Like, Is cancer caused by uncontrolled cell division.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Scientific questions are always testable questions. They can be solved by using scientific techniques like PCR, titration etc.

Here the given question in the example can be tested, by making the observations of the cell division of the cancer patients. Then by inducing uncontrolled cell division into normal cells to look for the effect of cell division on cancer.

The questions like, "is sadness can be controlled by talking?" is not a scientific question.
