What is the smallest particle of calcium that has the same chemical properties of calcium?

The smallest particle of calcium that retains the chemical properties of calcium is the calcium ion (Ca2+). This ion has lost two electrons from a calcium atom, giving it a positive charge while maintaining the chemical characteristics of calcium.

Smallest piece of an ionic compound?

The smallest piece of an ionic compound is called an ion, which is a charged particle formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. These ions are brought together through electrostatic forces to form a neutral ionic compound.


What a ion?

An ION is an atom that has lost or gained electrons. Thereby becoming a charged species. Once an atom becomes a charged species it is NO longer an atom but an ION . e.g. Sodium atom, symbol ' Na '. has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 11 electrons. When it loses (ionises) an electron it becomes a sodium ion. So sodium now has 11 protons, 12 neutrons, and 10 electrons . 11 protons (11+) and 10 electrons (10-). Doing a little sum 11+ 10- = 1(+) Hence the charge on the sodium ion is'+1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Na^(+) ' . and is named a sodium CATION. Similarly Chlorine atom, symbol ' Cl '. has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 17 electrons. When it has electron affinity it gains an electron it becomes a chloride ion. So chlorine now has 17 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons . 17 protons (17+) and 18 electrons (18-). Doing a little sum 17+ 18- = 1(-) Hence the charge on the chloride ion is'-1' . Symbolically, shown as ' Cl^(-) ' . and is named a chloride ANION.
