Example #1 write the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide

Step 1

-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table

CaO

Step 2

Find the charges for Calcium and Oxygen

which are Ca 2+ and O 2-

Step 3

Balance out the charges

They are already balanced out

Here´s the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide

CaO

Example 2 write the chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide

Step 1

-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table

A

l

O

Step 2

Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen

Which are Al 3+ and O 2-

Step 3

Balance out the charges

You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges

Al 3+ O 2-

Al 3+ O 2-

= 6 + O 2-

= 6-

Step 4

If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts

Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide

Al_{2} O_{3}

How likely is it that a brother or sister would be just like you.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Theoretically you could be totally unrelated to your sister or share the exact same DNA as your brother. But because we are talking about so much DNA and so many different possible combinations, the percentage usually comes out to about 50%. Think about it like flipping a coin.

What is an example of equilibrium?
frez [133]

A good example of equilibrium would be the mixing of oil and water in a closed container.

<h3>What is chemical equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium is a condition in which the concentrations of components of a chemical reaction remain unchanged and have no tendency to change.

Of all the options, the only one where the concentrations of the component reactants cannot change is a mixture containing oil and water in a closed container.

Oil and water are immiscible and thus, their concentrations remain constant.
