Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation when calcium reacts with water hasto bewritten.
Concept Introduction:
Balanced Chemical equation:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.

- ( ME 213: Properties of Material) Calculate the force of attraction between a K+ and an O2- ion the centers of whichare separated by a distance of 1.5 nm. My understanding is that in ionic bonds all atoms acquire stable configuration. Here potassium gives oxygen one electron. But oxygen needs two electrons to be stable. Hence it will not be stable.arrow_forward(i) Write the electro-dot structures for sodium, oxygen, and magnesium(ii) Show the formation of Na2O and MgO by the transfer of electrons(iii) What are the ions present in these compounds?arrow_forwardElement X is a metal with a valency 2.
