It gains stability by loosing 2 electrons and acquiring +ve 2 charge....When calcium looses two electrons it attains an octet configuration of the nearest noble gas which is inert due to high stability......

∙ 11y ago- It must lose two electrons.
- This is because the protons are positive (+) and the electrons are negative (-). So that means when you have an even # of protons (+) and electrons (-), it is neutral. To get a charge of 2 Positive (+), you must have 2 more protons (+) than electrons(-).
- Therefore, it must lose two electrons (it can't gain two protons instead because when the proton # changes, you have a new element).

Electrons have negative charge, so an atom must gain them to become negative, and lose them to become positive.

What is the charge on the monatomic ion that calcium forms in its compounds?
Calcium forms a 2+ ion.
What is the difference between a calcium ion and a sodium ion?
Sodium ions have a +1 charge, whereas calcium ions have a 2+ charge.
Indicate the number of electrons lost or gained by calcium and give the charge of the ion it forms?
loses 2 electrons to form a calcium ion with 2+ charge
Predict the charge that a calcium ion would have?
2+
What is the charge of the ion that calcium would form?
Calcium is in group 2. Therefore it's most probable charge is Ca2+.
What is the charge on the monatomic ion that calcium forms in its compounds?
Calcium forms a 2+ ion.
What Is the electric charge on calcium ion in calcium chloride?
+2.
How many charges does calcium have?
Calcium has a chrage of +2 or two positive charges
What is the difference between a calcium ion and a sodium ion?
Sodium ions have a +1 charge, whereas calcium ions have a 2+ charge.
Indicate the number of electrons lost or gained by calcium and give the charge of the ion it forms?
loses 2 electrons to form a calcium ion with 2+ charge
What is the electric charge on the calcium ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
Predict the charge that a calcium ion would have?
2+
What is the charge of the ion that calcium would form?
Calcium is in group 2. Therefore it's most probable charge is Ca2+.
Is calcium with a plus 1 charge a ion?
Yes - but it is rare - usually has a + 2 charge
What is the electric charge on the ion in the compound calcium oxide?
Well the charge on the compound would be stable (0) when bonded, because the Calcium has given it's electrons to the Oxygen atom. But the charge on the calcium ion itself would be 2+
Calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide is equals?
It would be unethical to use this service to answer exam or graded questions. CaCl2 + 2NaOH --> 2NaCl + Ca(OH)2 Calcium Chloride + Sodium Hydroxide --> Sodium Chloride + Calcium Hydroxide Why: Ca ion has 2+ charge Cl ion has 1- charge Na ion has 1+ charge OH polyatomic ion has 1- charge
The compound CaSO4 ionizes into a calcium ion and a sulfate ion SO4 Calcium has 2 electrons in its outer shell Upon ionization what would you expect the charge on the sulfate ion to be?
SO4 2-
