Question

For questions 54 thru 56, type the TOTAL number of electrons for the following ions.

 

  1. Ca++ ______
  2. 55.  O-2 ______                                                          
  3. 56.  I-  _______
Expert Solution
Step 1

54.

Total number of electrons in a Ca++ ion = 18

Total number of electrons in a Ca atom = atomic number of Ca = 20

2 electrons are lost for making Ca++ ion from Ca atom, so Ca++ ion has 18 electrons.

 

55.

Total number of electrons in a O-2 ion = 10

Total number of electrons in a O atom = atomic number of O = 8

2 electrons are accepted for making O-2 ion from O atom, so O-2 ion has 10 electrons.
