How will the element Ca + O bond ?

Ionic bonding

Explanation:

Since Ca is a metal and O is a nonmetal, they will experience ionic bonding. This means that Ca will "donate" two of its valence electrons to O. This will give both Ca and O a complete octet.

a) F = 680 N, b)  W = 215 .4 J , c)  F = 1278.4 N

Explanation:

a) Hooke's law is

              F = k x

To find the displacement (x) let's use the elastic energy equation

            = ½ k x²

             k = 2  / x²

             k = 2 85.0 / 0.250²

             k = 2720 N / m

We replace and look for elastic force

            F = 2720  0.250

            F = 680 N

b) The definition of work is

          W = ΔEm

          W = -

          W = ½ k ( ² - x₀²)

The final distance

          = 0.250 +0.220

        = 0.4750 m

We calculate the work

          W = ½ 2720 (0.47² - 0.25²)

          W = 215 .4 J

We calculate the strength

          F = k

          F = 2720 0.470

          F = 1278.4 N
