The answer will be B) MgCl2 because magnesium has 2 valence electrons and is a metal and chlorine has the atomic number of 17 and is a metal and in order to form an ionic compound, you must have 1 metal and 1 nonmetal

Answer is: B) MgCl2.

Chlorine has atomic number 17, it means it has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

Chloride is negative ion of chlorine. Chloride is formed when chlorine gain one lectron.

Chloride anion has 17 protons and 18 electrons (like argon-noble gas).

The electron configuration for the chloride ion: ₁₇Cl⁻ 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶.

Magnesium has a 2+ oxidation number and chlorine has a 1- oxidation number.  

Magnesium is metal from second group of Periodic table of elements and it lost two electrons to have electron configuration as closest noble gas neon (₁₀Ne), chlorine is nonmetal from 17. group of Periodic table and it gains one electron to have electron configuration as argon (₁₈Ar).

Mg + 2H2O -----&gt; Mg (OH)2 + H2<br><br><br> Write it in word problem
diamong [38]

The word problem format to the task given above is: When magnesium reacts with steam, it produces magnesium hydroxide and liberate hydrogen gas.

<h3>How magnesium hydroxide is formed?</h3>

It happens that magnesium is an alkali earth metal and react with water in the gaseous state to librate hydrogen gas, when this reaction occurs, it results in the formation of magnesium hydroxide.

The chemical equation between magnesium and water is given below:

Mg + 2H₂O -----> Mg (OH)₂ + H₂

So therefore, we can accurately deduced that magnesium hydroxide is produced when magnesium is disolved in water.

A scientist discovers a new type of polymer. What must be true about this polymer?
mixas84 [53]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A polymer is a large molecule which contains repeating units.

A polymer forms long chain of atoms which are not necessarily arranged in a ring structure. There are not only double bonds between all the carbon atoms, as there can be single bonds or triple bonds between the atoms of a polymer.

A polymer does not contain many different type of molecules as there are many repeating units and not many molecules in a polymer.

A polymer is made of large molecules with repeating units.

Thus, we can conclude that option (D) is the correct answer.

Im not doing the math-

The average speed of the blocks are 0.36 m/s.
Explanation:
Average speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered per unit time. So if it is said that blocks are pulled to 0.9 m in the right side. This means the blocks cover a distance of 0.9 m from the origin and that distance is covered in 2.5 s. Thus, the average speed can be calculated from the change in speed with respect to time. As at time t = 0 , the speed is also zero, and at time t = 2.5 s , the speed will be
Since, in this case, the speed is equal to the average speed of blocks. So the average speed of the blocks will be 0.36 m/s.
