What is the chemical formula for the ionic compound calcium chloride?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer : The correct formula of the given compound will be, $CaCl_2$

Explanation :

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound because calcium element is a metal and chloride element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

The charge on calcium is (+2) and the the charge on chloride is (-1). The charges are not balanced. Thus they combine and their charges are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $CaCl_2$ .

Hence, the formula of the compound calcium chloride will be $CaCl_2$

discuss the relationship between the size and weight of an object and the amount of friction that is present

Answers

As both size and weight of an object increase, so will the amount of friction. The bigger size an object is, the more surface area it will have, and the heavier an object is, the more pressure it will place on something else. Both these factors lead to increased friction.

The box in the picture begins motionless, and then both forces are applied at the same time. Describe the resulting motion of the box. A) The box will not move. B) The box will move to the left. C) The box will move to the right. D) The box will move to the left and then the right.

Answers

It seems that you have missed to attach the given image for us to answer this question, but anyway, here is the answer. Based on the picture of a box which is motionless, the resulting motion of the box would be option B. The box will move to the left. Hope this answer helps.

The force being applied toward the right is greater. So the box will move in the direction of the greater force being applied. The box will move toward the right. Hope this helps!!!
