Pacific Maple is also known as Philippines Mahogany, Luan and Luaun. When made into plywood, it is usually significantly lighter than Hoop Pine and sometimes almost as light as Gaboon. This varies according to exactly which subspecies of Shorea was used for the veneers in the marine plywood.
Lithium cobalt oxide consists of layers of lithium (show here as purple spheres) that lie between slabs formed by cobalt and oxygen atoms (shown here as connected red and blue spheres). In a lithium-ion battery, the lithium ion is the cation that travels from anode to cathode. Lithium (Li) is easily ionized to form Li+ plus one electron. The electrolyte is typically a combination of lithium salts, such as LiPF6, LiBF4, or LiClO4, in an organic solvent, such as ether.
Best Answer: An ion is an atom (or group of atoms) that has gained or lost one or more electrons. Many main group elements gain or lose electrons such that they have the same number of electrons as a Noble gas.Calcium, and all of the alkaline earth elements, lose two electrons.Since electrons are negatively charged, the loss of electrons gives the resulting ion a positive charge. So the answer is that the calcium ion has a 2+ charge.A calcium atom has 2 outer shell electrons.) I believe the answer is -2 because of the 2 outer shell electrons...but wouldn't it be different if it is an ION and not just an Atom?
