Chlorine has seven valence electrons. It can form a bond with two atoms of Magnesium (two valence electrons). Is this an example

of an ionic or covalent bond? Explain your reasoning by comparing both types of bonds. Is each atom gaining, losing, or sharing electrons?

Answer:

The answer to your question is Ionic bonding. Magnesium loses 2 electrons and Chlorine gains 1 electron

Explanation:

An Ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal and the difference of electronegativity is higher than 1.7. In this type of bond, metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain them.

Covalent bonding is formed between two nonmetals and the difference of electronegativity is between 0 and 1.7. Elements share electrons.

Process

Electronegativity of Mg = 1.31

Electronegativity of Cl = 3.16

Difference = 3.16 - 1.31

                  = 1.85

          1.85 > 1.7 then the bond formed is Ionic

Magnesium loses 2 electrons and Chlorine gains 1 electron

Does wasting water also waste energy? Explain your reasoning.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Wasting household water does not ultimately remove that water from the global water cycle, but it does remove it from the portion of the water cycle that is readily accessible and usable by humans. Also, "wasting" water wastes the energy and resources that were used to process and deliver the water.

What is the pressure in a 5.00 L tank with<br> 7.10 moles of oxygen at 39.3 °C?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

36.4 atm

Explanation:

To find the pressure, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law. The equation looks like this:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (atm)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = constant (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

Before you can plug the given values into the equation, you first need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.

P = ? atm                         R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K

V = 5.00 L                       T = 393 °C + 273.15 = 312.45 K

n = 7.10 moles

PV = nRT

P(5.00 L) = (7.10 moles)(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(312.45 K)

P(5.00 L) = 182.130

P = 36.4 atm

Calculate the relative atomic mass of M
aalyn [17]

Answer:

63.55

Explanation:

relative atomic mass=(mass of isotope1×relative abundance)+(mass of isotope 2×relative abundance)/100

r.a.m=(62.93×69.09)+(64.93×30.91)/100

=(4347.8337)+(2006.9863)/100

=6354.82/100

=63.55
