It would have to lose two electrons.
Pure sodium is very reactive and therefore not chemically stable.
bonding to ionic compounds of the same charge
Argon is stable. Calcium is reactive. There is no compound that forms between argon and calcium.
chemically stable: very few things will react with it chemically unstable: many things will react with it and it can react violently ur mr.notso awsome
No,, it is actually calcium sulfate. Calcium bicarbonate is not stable as a solid.
Nitrogen is sufficiently stable.
In its elemental form, calcium is made of electrically neutral Ca atoms. It is s silvery, highly reactive metal, that vigorously reacts with water. The calcium in milk is in the form of Ca2+ ions, which are chemically stable.
Atoms become chemically neutral with either 2 or 8 electrons in the outermost orbital. Polonium would lose 2 electrons to become chemically neutral. Because Polonium is radioactive it will remain unstable until gains two in Atomic Number to resemble the configuration of Lead.
Ionic bond.
Calcium loses its two valence electrons to become Ca 2+ ion.
To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
lose two elcetrons
they are stable
tabalu..:)
It is because they are chemically stable.
Pure sodium is very reactive and therefore not chemically stable.
