A calcium atom has {Fill in the blank} valence electrons. It needs to transfer {Fill in the blank} electrons to oxygen to have a

full outer shell. An oxygen atom has {Fill in the blank} valence electrons. It needs to accept {Fill in the blank} electrons from calcium to have a full outer shell.
After the transfer of electrons, calcium becomes an ion with a charge of {Fill in the blank} and oxygen becomes an ion with a charge of {Fill in the blank}.

Answer:

Calcium atom has 2 valence electrons. It transfers two electrons

Oxygen atom has 6 valence electrons. It accepts two electrons

Ca becomes an ion with a charge of +2 and oxygen becomes an ion with a charge of -2.

Explanation:

The atomic number of calcium is 20. Its electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2. Since the outer most shell (4s) has two electrons in it, its valency is 2.

Similarly atomic number of oxygen is 8. Its electronic configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Since the outer most shell (2s 2p) has total of 6 electrons in it, its valency is 6.

Calcium will gain the stable configuration by loosing two electrons where as oxygen will gain the stable octet configuration by gaining two electrons. Loss of electrons result in the formation of cation and gain of electron result in formation of anion. Thus calcium cation is formed with a charge of +2 and oxygen anion is formed with a charge of -2. The formula of calcium oxide will be CaO.

Answer:

A calcium atom has {2} valence electrons. It needs to transfer {2} electrons to oxygen to have a full outer shell. An oxygen atom has {6} valence electrons. It needs to accept {2} electrons from calcium to have a full outer shell.

After the transfer of electrons, calcium becomes an ion with a charge of {2+} and oxygen becomes an ion with a charge of {2 (-)}.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

1) both pieces becomes a magnet.

2) both has north and south pole.

Explanation:

When the magnet is broken into two pieces, both pieces of magnets act as a real magnet which makes magnetic field around them. These newly made magnets have their own north and south pole. When the north pole of both magnets come close together so they repel each other. The reason is that when they are present in joint form, they have a single north and south pole but when they are broken into pieces both have separate north and south pole.

When a plant is placed in pure distilled water, its cells will __________.'
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

If a plant cell is placed in distilled water, water will enter the cell and the cell contents will expand. However, the elastic cell wall exerts a back pressure, which will limit the net gain of water.

Which populations would benefit the most from the presence of decomposers?
Dafna11 [192]
I'm guessing there was answer choices to this problem? regardless I think I know the answer to it. Plant populations would benefit the most of the presence of decomposers due to the fact that decomposers release nutrients into the soil when they break down things.<span />

Fofino [41]

The dry cleaning industry is the primary user of the chemical perchloroethylene (PCE). The research done by the researchers at the Boston university have found that the PCE chemical increases the risk of developing mental illnesses in the people working with it. Since, it is a common name in the dry-cleaning industry, the workers in this industry are much more prone to mental illnesses a compared to other people.

Hence, the answer is 'dry cleaning industry'.
