Ca2 is basically two Ca's so it's larger (the plus doesn't compensate)

Did Ca plus plus gain an electron to produce the charge?

Ca2+ is positively charged. Remember that an electron is a particle with negative charge; therefore, the element Calcium (Ca) has LOST 2 electrons in order to be positive 2.


The correct formula for Ca2 plus reacting with NO21-?

In this reaction, Ca2+ reacts with NO2^1- to form Ca(NO2)2. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Ca2+ + 2NO2^- → Ca(NO2)2.


What is revealed in the reaction Ca(OH)2(s) Ca2 plus (aq) plus 2OH-(aq)?

If you mean Ca(OH)2(s) --> Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) this is the equation for the dissolving of calcium hydroxide in water.


Is Ca2 plus likely to form?

The cation Ca(2+) exist in many compounds, for example in salts.


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CA AND CA2 plus?

Ca refers to calcium, which is a chemical element with the atomic number 20. Ca2+ refers to a calcium ion that has lost two electrons, resulting in a 2+ charge. The main difference is that Ca represents the neutral form of calcium, while Ca2+ represents the positively charged ion form.


Which ion has the smallest ionic radius Mg2 plus or Ca2 plus?

Mg2+ has the smaller ionic radius compared to Ca2+ because as you move down a group in the periodic table, the ionic radius increases due to the addition of electron shells. Mg and Ca are in the same group, but Ca has more electron shells than Mg, resulting in a larger ionic radius for Ca2+.


Is calcium written as Ca2 and ionized calcium as Ca?

No. elemental calcium is Ca. The calcium ion is Ca2+


Ca plus Br and gt CaBr2 what is the reducing agent?

In this reaction, Br is the reducing agent because it is being oxidized from Br- to Br2, thereby causing the reduction of Ca from Ca to Ca2+.


Is Ca2 plus likely to form How about Br- Ne- Ne plus?

Ca(2+) and Br- are common ions; the neon ion probable doesn't exist.


The chemical symbol Ca2 plus refers to the?

Calcium ion with a +2 charge.


What is the atomic structure of Ca 2 plus?

40 Ca2+ Mass number is 40 Atomic number (proton number) is 20 therefore 18 electrons as calcium has lost 2 electrons to become a Ca2+ ions :D


What is revealed in the reaction Ca2 plus (aq) plus 2OH-(aq) Ca(OH) 2(s)?

This is the net ionic equation for the formation of calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 precipitate from soluble calcium ions and soluble hydroxide ions.
