Calcium carbonate is a compound that is used to make chalk for drawing on rocks or pavement. one molecule has one atom of calcium (ca), one atom of carbon (c), and three atoms of oxygen (o). which is the correct way to write the chemical formula for calcium carbonate?
3caco
ca3co
caco3
ca3c3o3

Explanation:-

A compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here calcium is having an oxidation state of +2 and carbonate is a polyatomic ion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine to form neutral .

The chemical formula of an ionic compound is written as .

the answer would be a

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
