Is Ca plus 2 an ion?

No, "Ca plus 2" is not correct notation for an ion. The correct notation would be Ca^2+, which represents a calcium ion with a 2+ charge due to the loss of two electrons.

What charge does Ca have when making an ion?

Calcium (Ca) typically forms a +2 charge when it becomes an ion by losing two electrons.


What is the charge of Ca when it exists as a cation?

2+ will be the charge in Ca2+ ion


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CA AND CA2 plus?

Ca refers to calcium, which is a chemical element with the atomic number 20. Ca2+ refers to a calcium ion that has lost two electrons, resulting in a 2+ charge. The main difference is that Ca represents the neutral form of calcium, while Ca2+ represents the positively charged ion form.


What is the electrical charge of the chlorine ion?

A "cation" carries positive (+) charge. An "anion" caries a negative (-) charge. The charge carried in may be single or multiple.


Predict the charge that a calcium ion would have?

A calcium ion (Ca^2+) would have a charge of +2, as it loses two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.

Is this formula correct Ca(OH)2?

Yes, it is correct. Calcium has a +2 charge, and the hydroxide polyatomic ion has a -1 charge.


For calcium ca write the numbers of electrons it must gain or lose to have 8 vlance electrons then calculate the charge of the ion that would form?

Ca must lose 2 electrons to have a complete 3n shell, which has 8 valence electrons. The ion would have a charge of 2+: Ca^2+.


Is CaCl2 polyatomic ion?

No, it is a salt made of 1 Ca2+ ion and 2 Cl- ions with no total net charge. Hope this helps
