What is the electric charge on the calcium ion in calcium chloride,
The electric charge on the calcium ion in calcium chloride,
Answer to Problem 10RQ
The electric charge on the calcium ion in calcium chloride,
Explanation of Solution
Calcium chloride
An ionic compound is formed by making an ionic bond which is basically a bond existing between ions. The atoms involved in ionic bonds must contain large difference in their electro negativities. The atoms containing low electro negativity tend to furnish electrons and generate positive ion and atoms containing large electro negativity tend to gain electrons and generate negative ion. The positive and negative ions tend to attract together through electrostatic force of attraction and that generates an ionic bond between them.
The calcium atom being a metal loses two electrons to form
Conclusion:
Thus the electric charge on the calcium ion in calcium chloride,
