1.8 Valence Electrons and Ionic Compounds
1.5 Atomic Structure and Electron Configuration
A student investigates the reaction between solid calcium, \(\text{Ca(s)}\), and chlorine gas, \(\text{Cl}_2\text{(g)}\), to produce a white crystalline solid. Based on the valence electron configurations of calcium (\([\text{Ar}]\,4s^2\)) and chlorine (\([\text{Ne}]\,3s^2\,3p^5\)), which of the following balanced chemical equations correctly represents the reaction, along with the total quantity of valence electrons transferred per mole of product formed?
