What happens to the outer shell electrons of a calcium when it reacts with a oxygen atoms?
The two outer shell electrons of a calcium atom are donated to an oxygen atom, forming calcium cations and oxygen anions that together constitute the salt compound calcium oxide.
How many outer ring electrons do calcium and oxygen have?
8 all together
What has more outer electrons phosphorus or silicon?
Calcium
Calcium Sulfide formula?
CaS Because Calcium has 2 electrons in its outer shell- so it needs to get rid of those (Ca2+) Sulfur has 6 electrons in its outer shell- so it needs 2 more to have a full outer shell (S2-)
What elements are found in the inner and outer cores?
Inner core: Iron and nickel Outer core: Iron, nickel, and oxygen Oceanic crust: Basalt, magnesium, and iron Continental crust: Granite Mantle: Iron, magnesium, and calcium I hope this helped now all I need is a way to remember them all!

How many outer ring electrons do calcium and oxygen have?
8 all together
How many outer-ring electrons do calcium and oxygen have?
8 all together
How many electrons does an oxygen atom want to have in its outer sell?
"Want" is a word you should try to avoid when talking about atoms. Oxygen reacts to get a full outer shell of 8.
When a group 1 metal reacts what happens to the outer shell electrons of its atoms?
they loose electrons from its outershell
How many outer shell are in calcium?
The outer shell of calcium has two electrons.
What happens if you are born in outer space?
You will die because you dont have a suit on. There is not oxygen in outerspace.
What does calcium not bond with?
I would imagine, logically, Calcium would react with every element except the Noble Gases - as they already have full outer energy levels, thus being unreactive. You will often find one calcium reacting with one element from group 6, for example Oxygen. CaO (as they strive to reach a full outer shell.)
What is the outer covering of bones?
calcium
Does calcium have a full outer shell?
Calcium has a full 4s sublevel, but does not have a full "outer shell", per se, because it is not a noble gas.
What happens if you go outer space without a spacesuit?
you will die due to lack of oxygen contrary to movies, you won't explode
How many electrons are in the outer shell of calcuim?
Calcium has two electrons in the outer shell.
