An ion of calcium has a +2 charge, and an ion of chlorine has a –1 charge. how many chlorine ions are needed to create a stable ionic compound with an ion of calcium?

Explanation:

An ionic compound is the compound formed due to transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Atomic number of calcium is 20 with electronic distribution 2, 8, 8, 2. So, on losing 2 valence electrons it forms ion.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 with electronic configuration 2, 8, 7. So, on gaining one electron it forms .

As, a calcium ion has +2 charge and a chlorine ion has -1 charge.

Therefore, when both of them chemically combine together then two chlorine ions are  needed to combine with one calcium atom.

As a result, is formed.

explanation:

1. loamy sand is about 80% sand with 10% clay and defined mostly by sand particles with some clay to provide structure and fertility. the sand particles are easily visible and the soil holds structure but breaks apart easily.

2. scott sand can improve his soil quality by incorporating more silt and organic matter into the soil. peat moss and organic matter can also be incorporated.
