The answer is 2 electrons.
The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2
Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.
Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.
For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
Here it is. Radon is the heaviest gas element
The corrects answer is 259 K
Take note of the subscript written for each element in the compound. To find the total number of moles, make sure to multiply the subscript with the number of moles of compound. The answer for each is written below:
a. 3*1 = 3 moles Nitrogen; 3*3 = 9 moles Hydrogen
b. 0.25*2 = 0.5 moles Hydrogen; 0.25*1 = 0.25 moles Oxygen
c. 5*2 = 10 moles Hydrogen; 5*1 =5 moles Sulfur; 5*4 = 20 moles Oxygen
d. 0.75*1 = 0.75 moles Calcium; 0.75*1*2 = 1.5 moles Nitrogen; 0.75*3*2 = 4.5 moles Oxygen
