CaCl2
CaCl2 is the chemical formula of calcium dichloride.
Calcium forms ionic compounds by giving away two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. In the case of calcium chloride (CaCl2), each calcium atom gives away two electrons to two chlorine atoms, resulting in a compound with a 1:2 ratio of calcium to chlorine atoms. If it were calcium dichloride, it would imply a 1:1 ratio, which is not the case in this compound.
The scientific name for Calsium Chloride is Calcium Dichloride
Not in solid form, apparently! No free electrons.
symbol of calcium is Ca
Ca is the chemical symbol for calcium.
The atomic symbol of calcium is Ca.
The symbol for calcium chloride is CaCl2.
The calcium ion is called a calcium ion, and its symbol is Ca2+.
Examples: calcium chloride, sulfur dichloride, thorium tetrachloride, uranium trichloride etc.
The atomic symbol for an isotope of calcium will be the regular symbol for calcium, Ca. The number of protons will differ from standard calcium. This is written below the mass number Ca.
