Answer:
There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.
Explanation:
Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.
<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>
Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.
If the bonds are held together tightly, as an ionic bond or even a covalent bond, there will need to be a strong force to separate those bonds. This would by why their would be a high melting point. Another reason would be re-activity. <span />
Molar mass NO₂ = 46.0 g/mol
1 mole -------- 46.0 g
2.0 moles ----- ?
Mass (NO₂) = 2.0 x 46.0 / 1
=> 92.0 g
hope this helps!
