Answer:

MgO

Explanation:

Mass of Mg = 60.3 g  

Molar mass of Mg = 24.305 g/mol

Moles of Mg = 60.3 g/ 24.305 g/mol = 2.48 mol

Mass of O = 39.7g  

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Moles of O = 39.7g/ 16 g/mol = 2.48 mol

So the molar ration of Mg:O is 1:1  

Therefore the empirical formula is MgO

(b) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2
(c) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1

(d) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

(e) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

Answer is: a) 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ (sodium).

Sodium have the largest second ionization energy, because when he lost one electron(first ionization energy), he have stable electron configuration of noble gas neon (1s²2s²2p⁶), so sodium do not need to lost second electron, because he will have unstable electron configuration.

Two protons and two neutrons are released as a result of this reaction. Rn Po + ?Which particle is released?one alpha particletw
lys-0071 [83]
The nuclear reaction occurring is known as alpha-decay, and during this process, an alpha particle is released from a heavy radioactive nucleus to form a lighter more stable nucleus. The alpha particle is equivalent to a helium nucleus, which means it contains 2 protons and two neutrons (net charge of +2)
The decay equation is:
Rn → Po + α
