Why chemical reaction happen?

Basically it just has to do with how the electrons orbiting the atoms in the molecules prefer to behave. Add: Reactions generally happen in order to cause the electrons to reach a lower, more stable energy state.


Why calcium turns to red in the flame test?

Because, due to the absorption of heat energy by the calcium atom in the flame. The electrons in the atom get promoted to a higher energy level, and exist in an unstable excited state. As they are unstable and prefer to be at their normal ground state, the extra energy that the electrons absorbed to be promoted in the first place is emitted in the form of a photon, light. The light emitted from the electrons of the calcium atoms will be at a specific wavelength, which is the red light you see emitted from the flame.

Do metals prefer to receive electrons in chemical reactions?

Metals typically prefer to lose electrons rather than gain them in chemical reactions, as this allows them to achieve a more stable electron configuration. Metals tend to form positively charged ions by losing electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell.


Will magnesium and clacium bonds with two in the outer shell?

Magnesium and calcium will each donate up to two electrons (and prefer to donate both) to an ionic bond with some more electronegative atom / ion.


Would a atom prefer to lose or gain electrons?

for that you should have the knowledge of the electron configuration 2,8,8,18,32,.. meaning first electronic orbit can have at the most two electrons. second orbit can have only 8 electrons and so on.... Now, for example calcium atomic number is 20 . so how will be the electrons placed 2 will go in the first orbit, 8 will go in the second orbit - so till now total is 10 we still have 10 more electrons to arrange. 8 electrons go in the third orbit and last 2 electrons go in the fourth orbit which actually has the capacity to accept total of 18 - now 2 electrons come in the fourth orbit so 18-2=16 . for any element it requires a lot of energy to get 16 electrons from the atom of other element so it will be better to loose 2 electrons for the calcium atom. Ca +2 means it has 2 electrons to loose . try this with different element and if you have any problem I will help you


Where can you purchase calcium propionate?

A chemical supplier such as Sigma Aldrich.Or you could react a calcium salt (e.g. calcium carbonate) with propionic (or propanoic, if you prefer the IUPAC nomenclature) acid:CaCO3 + 2CH3CH2COOH → H2O + CO2 + Ca(CH3CH2COO)2


Do metals prefer to be oxidized or reduced?

Metals prefer to be oxidized, meaning they lose electrons to become positively charged ions. This is because metals generally have low ionization energies, making it easier for them to lose electrons.


What version of war of the world did you prefer and why?

I prefer the original version of War of the Worlds that was read on the radio because of the reaction it received.


What is a scientific chemical bond?

A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances that contain two or more atoms. The bond is caused by the electromagnetic force attraction between opposite charges, either between electrons and nuclei, or as the result of a dipole attraction (I'd prefer not to list all of the other physics dipoles).


What is meant by the term chemical bond?

These are the Van der Waals bonds.
