First, calcium oxide is an ionic compound and so does not form molecules. In one formula unit (ionic equivalent of a molecule) of calcium oxide there is 1 oxygen (8 protons) atom and 1 calcium atom (20 protons) for a total of 28.
Calcium has 20 electrons and oxygen has 8 electrons, so the TOTAL number of electrons in CaO is 28. If you mean how many valence electrons are used, then calcium uses 2 valence electrons, and oxygen uses 6 valence electrons for a total of 8 valence electrons.
Determine the number of electrons contained in 3.0 x 10^5 formula units of calcium oxide, CaO
CaO has 28 protons. 20 protons of Ca + 8 protons from O.
Calcium oxide - CaO
Ca: 20 electrons
Oxygen: 8 electrons
Total: 28
The formula for calcium oxide is CaO. This is an ionic compound which has two ions per formula unit.
Calcium oxide (CaO) contain 1 calcium atom and 1 oxygen atom.
28
Two electrons are transferred between calcium and oxygen to form calcium oxide.
Carbon Dioxide has the formula of CO2, which means 1 Carbon atom and 2 Oxygen atom per CO2 molecule. Carbon12 has 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons per atom. Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons per atom. One CO2 molecule contains 22 protons, 22 neutrons and 22 electrons. Calcium Nitrate has the formula of Ca(NO3)2. Calcium contains 20 of each. Nitrogen contains 7 of each. Oxygen contains 8 of each. Per molecule there are 1 calcium, 2 Nitrogen and 6 oxygen. Therefore: 20 + (2x7) + (6x8) = 20 + 14 + 48 = 72 protons, 72 Neutrons and 72 electrons. I hope that answers your question.
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
2Ca + O2 --> 2CaO The molar mass of Calcium is 40g/mol. 36.5g/40g gives you 0.9125 moles of Calcium. The moles of calcium are equivalent to the moles of Calcium oxide. The answer is 0.9125 moles of calcium oxide. Correct me if I am wrong.
calcium has 20 electrons.when it loses 2 electrons, it has 18 electrons.
Calcium oxide has 20 electrons from the calcium atom, and 8 electrons from the oxygen atom, totaling 28 electrons.
Calcium oxide has 20 electrons from the calcium atom, and 8 electrons from the oxygen atom, totaling 28 electrons.
Calcium oxide (CaO) contain one atom of calcium.
Depends on what you mean by number of electrons. Calcium has 20 electrons and oxygen has 8 electrons for a total of 28 electrons. But if you mean how many VALENCE electrons, then the calcium has 2 and the O has 6 for a total of 8 valence electrons.
30 electrons per molecule.
Two electrons are transferred between calcium and oxygen to form calcium oxide.
A molecule of nitric oxide has 15 electrons overall, 7 from the nitrogen atom and 8 from oxygen.
Sodium oxide has the chemical formula of Na2O. To find the number of electrons in this molecule, we first need to know the number of electrons for each of its constituent atoms. The number of electrons in a neutral sodium atom is 11 and the number of electrons in a neutral oxygen atom is 8. So, after doing some simple arithmetic, we find that sodium oxide has 2*11 + 1*8 = 30 electrons per molecule.
In the half reaction where an oxygen molecule becomes into two oxide ions, it obtains 4 electrons from the oxidising substance.

The calcium ion has 18 electrons. The sulfate ion has 16 electrons from sulfur, 32 electrons from oxygen atoms and two from the charge. Altogether, a (molecule) of calcium sulfate has 68 electrons. * Calcium sulfate is not existing as molecules, 'formula unit' is a better phrase.
There are 20 electrons in a calcium atom.
