What is the electronic configuration of Calcium?

Calcium has 20 electrons.
The first ring can only contain up to 2 electrons.After that rings can only contain up to 8 electrons.
Therefore the electronic configuration of Calcium would be:
[2, 8, 8, 2]

How is the electronic structure of sodium different to chlorine?

For the reaction, 2SO2(g) + O2(g) => 2SO3(g), suggest the optimal conditions to maximise yield of SO3 when the forward reaction is exothermic.

Magnesium oxide contains magnesium ions (Mg2+) and oxide ions (O2–). Describe what happens when magnesium atoms react with oxygen atoms to produce magnesium oxide.

a) Give a balanced equation for the complete combustion of butane, b) Explain how this would change if there was insufficient oxygen present, and explain the problems this causes
