Answer:
207g
Explanation:
Given compound:
Ca(ClO₃)₂
The equivalent mass can be derived by summing the molar masses of each atom
Molar mass of Ca = 40
Cl = 35.5
O = 16
Now solve;
Molar mass = 40 + 2(35.5 + 3(16)) = 207g
Answer:
Atoms of metal elements give away electrons in their reactions to form positive ions. The ions formed have a full outer electron shell, so are very stable.
Explanation:
To become stable, the metal atom wants to get rid of one or more electrons in its outer shell. ... Alternately, an atom that loses electrons becomes a positively charged ion (aka cations). The particles in an ionic compound are held together because there are oppositely charged particles that are attracted to one another.
