Does calcium become a monatomic cation by gaining two electrons?
No, gaining two electrons would give calcium a full outer shell and make it a stable anion, not a cation. Calcium typically loses two electrons to become a monatomic cation with a 2+ charge.
Reactants would you use to make calcium chloride plus water?
To make calcium chloride and water, you would react calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid. The reaction would be CaO + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O or Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl → CaCl2 + 2H2O.
A particle of matter contains of 6 protons 7 neutrons and 6 electrons This particle must be a A neutral carbon atom B neutral nitrogen atom C neutral oxygen atom D neutral potassium atom?
A particle containing 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons is a neutral carbon atom. The number of protons determines the element, so 6 protons corresponds to carbon on the periodic table. The number of neutrons is added to determine the isotope, and the number of electrons balances the charge to make it neutral.
If 2 electrons where added to oxygen atom what would be the charge?
All atoms have a neutral charge until they lose or gain electrons. Once they lose/gain electrons then they are considered ions. Gaining electrons- If atoms gain electrons then they are getting negatively charged particles making them have a negative charge. Losing electrons- If atoms lose electrons then they are losing a negative charge and they become a positively charged ion. Oxygen- Oxygen will have a negative charge before a positive charge because it needs only two electrons to have a stable valence level. For example, Oxygen will take the electrons from two Hydrogen atoms and make H20.
What is the formula of calcium fluoride?
The reason it becomes stable is because Ca has 2 valence electrons that it wants to get rid of to become stable. F has 7 valence electrons and wants 1 more to become stable. So, TWO F atoms each take 1 of the 2 electrons from Ca. They form an ionic bond as Ca^2+ and 2F^- to make CaF2.
How many protons and electrons are in an atom in calcium?
Calcium's atomic number is 20. That means that it has 20 protons. To make it neutral then, an atom of calcium must also have 20 electrons.
How do electrons an portons make a neutral charge an neutron result in a neutral charged atom?
An atom that has an equal number of protons and electrons will be neutral and have no charge.
Does calcium become a monatomic cation by gaining two electrons?
No, gaining two electrons would give calcium a full outer shell and make it a stable anion, not a cation. Calcium typically loses two electrons to become a monatomic cation with a 2+ charge.
If a neutral atom has 8 protons it must have how many electrons?
The atom must have 8 electrons to make it have a neutral charge
Why might a calcium atom want to lose the two electrons in its outer orbital?
Having just 18 electrons make Calcium nobel.
How many valence electrons are transferred to make calcium iodide?
To make calcium iodide, calcium transfers two valence electrons to iodine. Calcium wants to lose two electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration, while iodine needs two electrons to complete its octet. This transfer results in the formation of CaI2 with a 2:1 ratio of calcium to iodine atoms.
If a neutral atom of 22 protons how many electrons does an atom contain?
A neutral atom with 22 protons would have 22 electrons. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positive charge) is equal to the number of electrons (negative charge) to balance the overall charge to zero.
What is the element that has 20 neutrons?
Several can. Perhaps you meant to ask which has 20 protons, in which case the answer is calcium. (Calcium is also one of the elements that can have 20 neutrons, but it's not the only one.)
How would Ca and Cl would make an ionic compound?
Calcium would form Ca2+ and chlorine would form Cl-. The ionic compound would be CaCl2 to ensure a neutral charge for the whole compound.
How many electrons are in Magnesium-26?
Magnesium-26 has 12 protons and 12 neutrons, so the total number of electrons would also be 12 in order to balance the charge and make the atom neutral.
What 3 subatomic particles make up an atom what are their charges?
Positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons
What three elements make up calcium carbonate?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons , okay?
