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.

At room temperature, one of the molecules is a gas and one is a liquid. Identify which structure is a gas and which is a liquid.
scoundrel [369]
It starts at the bottom and then it goes up into the air as evaporation and that’s when the air gets cooler so gas is cooler and the liquid would be hotter
