The answer is C, hydrogen gas. This is because in single replacement reactions, the single element (here Magnesium) replaces whichever element in the compound it corresponds to. Because Mg loses electrons since it’s a metal, it will replace the element which also loses electrons, which is Hydrogen here. So when they switch places, MgCl2 and H2 are made— and H2 is the hydrogen gas.
Answer:
Option-1 (O²⁻) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
All given anions contains same charge. So, we can ignore the effect of charge on these anions.
As we know all given compounds belongs to same group (Group 6) in periodic table. And from top to bottom along the group the elements are placed as,
Oxygen O
Sulfur S
Selenium Se
Tellurium Te
Hence, moving from top to bottom along the group the number of shells increases. And with increase in number of shell the atomic or ionic radii increases. As Oxygen is present at the top of the group, therefore, it has the smallest radius due to less number of shells.
