CaCl2 is ionically bonded because it contains one metal and one non-metal. In ionic bonds, atoms transfer electrons rather than share them.

How many valence electrons are in calcium plus chlorine?
the valence of CaCl2 is 2 because its not necessary that CaCl2 is always attached in hydrated form...... the basic thing which u study in your school classes that the outermost shell of both the element must be completed. so cacl2 has the valency of 2 because ca is electropositive. think it
How many moles of CaCl2 contain 1.26x1024 formula units of CaCl2?
1 mole CaCl2 = 6.022 x 1023 formula units CaCl2 1.26 x 1024 formula units CaCl2 x 1mol CaCl2/6.022 x 1023 formula units CaCl2 = 2.09 moles CaCl2
Unlike sodium and chlorine some atoms become more stable by sharing?
they blow upinto 1 billion peices and kill everyone
Dissociation equation of CaCl2?
CaCl2 → Ca2+ and 2Cl-
Does silicon lose or gain electrons?
silicon prefers to share electrons forming covalent bonds
Calcium reacts with fluorine to form what?
a transfer of electrons from calcium to chlorine
How many electrons are there in CaCl2?
The first thing we need to do is find out how many electrons each of the constituent atoms of CaCl2 has. Looking at the periodic table we see that calcium has 20 and chlorine has 17. Thus the total number of electrons in this molecule is 20 + 2*17 = 54.
Does CaCl2 represent a compound that primarily shares electrons?
No, the bonding is ionic- electrons are transferred to form ions Ca2+ and Cl-
When atoms share electrons how are they bonded?
covalent bonds share electrons
What is a bond which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds share electrons.
"atoms share electrons"?
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.
When 2 atoms share electrons what is that called?
They share electrons to form a chemical bond.
When atoms share electrons what forms?
A covalent bond forms when atoms share electrons.
A chemical bond that forms when atoms share electrons is an?
covalent bonds always share electrons.
What hydrogen atoms share electrons?
hydrogen atoms share electrons when it forms covalent bonds
Do anions and cations share electrons during ionic bonding?
Yes anions and cations share electrons. Anions gain electrons and cations loose electrons.
What type are bonds that share electrons unequally?
electrons
