<u>Answer:</u> The symbol of the ion formed is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.
- When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
- When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.
Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.
The element present in Group 2-A and in period 4 is Calcium (Ca)
Electronic configuration of Ca atom: 
This atom will loose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration similar to Argon element (noble gas)
The electronic configration of 
Hence, the symbol of the ion formed is

here's the answer to your question
Answer:
16.46 g.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometry problem.
- We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:
<em>2Cu + Zn(NO₃)₂ → Zn + 2Cu(NO₃).</em>
- It is clear that 2.0 moles of Cu reacts with 1.0 mole of Zn(NO₃)₂ to produce 1.0 mole of Zn and 2.0 moles of Cu(NO₃).
- We need to calculate the number of moles of the reacted Cu (32.0 g) using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>
- The no. of moles of Cu = mass / atomic mass = (32.0 g) / (63.546 g/mol) = 0.503 mol.
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
2.0 moles of Cu produces → 1.0 mole of Zn, from the stichiometry.
0.503 mole of Cu produces → ??? mole of Zn.
- The no. of moles of Zn produced = (1.0 mol)(0.503 mol) / (2.0 mol) = 0.2517 mol.
∴ The grams of Zn produced = no. of moles x atomic mass of Zn = (0.2517 mol)(65.38 g/mol) = 16.46 g.
