How many valence electrons will calcium gain or lose to fill its outer shell?
A calcium atom will normally lose its two valence electrons, which have principal quantum number 4, to a more electronegative atom when forming a compound. When this happens, the already filled electron shell with principal quantum number 3 becomes the outer shell of the resulting calcium cation, and this cation has the electronic structure of the noble gas preceding calcium in the periodic table, neon
What is an atom containing 10 protons?
Neon
Does an atom of neon have the same electrons as an atom of CI-ion?
No - but it has the same as a F- ion
How many valence electron does an atom of neon have?
eight
What is special about the outer shell of a neon atom?
It is full
What would happen if an atom of fluorine came into contact with an atom of neon?

What is the difference between 2000 dodge neon and the 2000 Plymouth neon?
There is no difference besides the badge on the car. I had a 2001 Plymouth neon and now have a 2002 dodge neon and the only difference between the 2 is the badges and the grill. and the grill changed with the 2002 model.
Which element has an atom with 20 electrons?
Calcium is the element that has the atomic number 20.
What is the difference between helium and neon?
they have different names
Is a 2001 dodge neon Plymouth neon the same crankshaft?
There is no difference between the Dodge and Plymouth engines.
Difference between sodium atom and sodium ion?
While a sodium ion and neon atom both have 10 electrons they are of different elements as a neon atom has 10 protons while sodium has 11. As a result the neon atom is neutral while the sodium ion carries a positive charge. So neon can exist on its own as a gas while sodium ion needs a negative ion to balance its charge and form an ionic solid.
What is malleability of neon?
neon is found in nature as a single atom neon is not malleable
How many electrons does a neon have if its a neutral atom?
Neon has ten electrons and as a Nobel gas is generally neutral
How many neutral atoms are in neon?
Neon IS an atom to begin with.
What is the difference between fluorine and neon?
1 proton and ~2 amu's
What is the difference between a Chrysler Plymouth Neon and a Dodge Neon?
The Chrysler/Plymouth Neon is physically the same as the Dodge Neon, since Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge were all the same company when the Neon was released.
Which atoms do not usually form a bond calcium neon hydrogen oxygen?
Neon
