JFraser, is your real name Jordan Fraser?

jfraser · Answer

What happens to the number of electrons when you turn a calcium atom into a calcium ion? What happens to the "strength" that the protons pull on the electrons?

jfraser · Answer

no, it's not

anonymous · Answer

Okay just curious. And also I have basically NO knowledge about Chemistry along the lines of bonding and chemicals (formulas and actual names).

anonymous · Answer

^^ Then I suggest you try to get some? Lol

anonymous · Answer

Don't have the resources for that. No textbook and no teacher. I answer a majority of my quiz questions by myself but you know I come on here to ask questions that I no nothing about, hoping that on OPEN STUDY someone would like to give an answer and explain how it is that answer so that I can also learn for further questions that are similar. Idk just assuming thats what OPEN STUDY.COM is about. Studying and learning.

Also the answer is true, thanks for the 'help' guys.

anonymous · Answer

Lol why the special reference to help? 
Um. Why no teacher? 
I wasn't trying to show attitude or aiming for insult.. just making a suggestion. And last time I checked, I made no reference to the original purpose/use of openstudy.... lol.

Btw it's true.

anonymous · Answer

I already got the answer, thanks though. And thats fine. No teacher because I'm in credit recovery program because the school I go to never gave me Chemistry as a class and I need it to graduate. This class is on a computer and there is no instructor, so I'm teaching myself.
