α-Calcium nitride adopts an anti-bixbyite structure, similar to Mn 2 O 3, except that the positions of the ions are reversed: calcium (Ca 2+) take the oxide (O 2−) positions and nitride ions (N 3−) the manganese (Mn 3+). In this structure, Ca 2+ occupies tetrahedral sites, and the nitride centres occupy two different types of octahedral ...
[1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [ 4 ] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.
Calcium phosphide (CP) is the inorganic compound with the formula Ca 3 P 2. It is one of several phosphides of calcium, being described as the salt-like material composed of Ca 2+ and P 3−. Other, more exotic calcium phosphides have the formula CaP / Ca 2 P 2, CaP 3, and Ca 5 P 8. Ca 3 P 2 has the
Calcium peroxide or calcium dioxide is the inorganic compound with the formula CaO 2. It is the peroxide (O 2 2−) salt of Ca 2+. Commercial samples can be yellowish, but the pure compound is white. It is almost insoluble in water. [3]
The structures of CaP and sodium peroxide (Na 2 O 2) are very similar. [1] The solid is described as a salt: (Ca 2+) 2 P 2 4−, or Ca 2 P 2. Since the bonding is ionic, the diphosphide centers carry negative charge and are easily protonated. Upon hydrolysis this material releases diphosphine (P 2 H 4): [2] Ca 2 P 2 + 4 H 2 O → 2 Ca(OH) 2 + P ...
Besides the simple oxide CaO, calcium peroxide, CaO 2, can be made by direct oxidation of calcium metal under a high pressure of oxygen, and there is some evidence for a yellow superoxide Ca(O 2) 2. [16] Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH) 2, is a strong base, though not as strong as the hydroxides of strontium, barium or the alkali metals. [17]
Calcium hydride is the chemical compound with the formula CaH 2, an alkaline earth hydride. This grey powder (white if pure, which is rare) reacts vigorously with water, liberating hydrogen gas. CaH 2 is thus used as a drying agent, i.e. a desiccant. [2] CaH 2 is a saline hydride, meaning that its structure is salt-like. The alkali metals and ...
When calcium ions (Ca 2+) are depleted from the endoplasmic reticulum (a major store of Ca 2+) of mammalian cells, the CRAC channel is activated to slowly replenish the level of calcium in the endoplasmic reticulum. The Ca 2+ Release-activated Ca 2+ (CRAC) Channel (CRAC-C) Family (TC# 1.A.52) is a member of the Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF ...
