18
OpenStudy (chmvijay):
yaaa its C
Ca+2 and Cl is possible only when Clis in anionic from that is Cl-
OpenStudy (chmvijay):
Ca+2 has 18 electrons right
therfore Ca+2 is isoelectronic with argon
OpenStudy (chmvijay):
iso electronic mean the species should have same no of electrons ok!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok, Thanks! :)
