When calcium and chloride bond to make calcium chloride does calcium become an anion and chloride a cation?
No, in the compound calcium chloride, calcium remains a cation with a 2+ charge, and chloride remains an anion with a 1- charge. They bond through an ionic bond where calcium donates its two electrons to chlorine.
How many calcium ions are needed to balance the charge of one chloride ion?
The calcium ion is doubly positively charged (Ca2+) while the chloride ion is singly negatively charged (Cl-). Two chloride ions are required to balance one calcium ion in the ionic compound calcium chloride. Therefore its chemical formula is CaCl2.
If barium ions Ca2 have a charge of 2 and hydroxide ions Cl1 have a charge of 1- the compound calcium chloride is?
Calcium chloride is CaCl2. In this compound, calcium has a charge of 2+ and chlorine has a charge of 1-. The total charge is neutralized by combining one calcium ion with two chloride ions.
What is the charge for CaCl2 cation or anion?
Calcium chloride is a salt; calcium is the cation and chloride the anion.
What is the solid product of calcium chloride plus sodium carbonate equals what plus sodium chloride?
Calcium carbonate.
What Is the electric charge on calcium ion in calcium chloride?
+2.
How is the bonding in calcium oxide different from the bonding in sodium chloride?
calcium is mdonating one electron to each chloride. This makes the calcium a positive charge and the chloride a negative charge. This is called ionic bonding (CaCl2)
What is the electric charge on the calcium ion in the compound calcium chloride?
The calcium ion in calcium chloride has a charge of +2. This is because calcium forms ionic bonds where it loses two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
What is the word equation for calcium plus hydrochloric acid plus?
The word equation for the reaction between calcium and hydrochloric acid is: calcium + hydrochloric acid → calcium chloride + hydrogen gas.
What is the word equation for calcium plus chlorine equals calcium chloride?
You have answered the question for yourself. Calcium + Chlorine = Calcium chloride. The BALANCED reaction equation is Ca(s) + Cl2(g) = CaCl2(s)
Write the formula for calcium chloride explain how you determine this formula?
The chemical formula for calcium chloride is CaCl₂. This formula is determined by recognizing that calcium (Ca) has a +2 charge and each chloride ion (Cl) has a -1 charge. To balance the charges, two chloride ions are needed for each calcium ion, resulting in the formula CaCl₂.
Is calcium caltrate the same as calcium?
No the chloride ion is a chlorine atom that has gained an electron and has a -1 charge. Because it is charged the chloride ion must be accompanied by a positive ion of some sort to balance the charge. Calcium chloride is a compound that contains chloride ions (Cl-) and calcium ions (Ca2+) and has the formula CaCl2
