Find the element: 1. A group 12 metal that was once used in thermometers, but now it’s know to be poisonous.
2. Has 3 valence electrons and 4 energy levels.
4. The only metalloid with 3 valence electrons.
5. It’s most common isotope has 5 neutrons.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-

wher is the rest of the question
