2. (a) Solid calcium oxide was taken in a container and water was added slowly to it: (i) Write the observation.
PLS ANSWERR

Explanation:

(i) Two observations made in the experiment are:-

(a) Temperature is raised due to the vigorous reaction.

(b) It is an exothermic reaction, heat is observed.

(ii)

+Δ(heat)

∴ Calcium Hydroxide is produced.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
