The chlorine anion is a Lewis base.
The chlorine anion is a donor of electronic pair:

Cl⁻ + H⁺ → HCl

As chlorine has seven electrons in its outer most shell so to complete its octet it has to gain an electron and when it gain an electron it will become an anion that is negatively charged
so in my opinion and what a conclude is that the option B is correct for the above statement

Write the Iconic Bond to Metals

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: The ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

Explanation:

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons to form $Mg^{2+}$ ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

This element will gain 1 electron to form $Cl^{-}$ ion

So, for every 1 atom of magnesium, 2 atoms of chlorine are required. Thus, the chemical formula becomes $MgCl_2$

Hence, the ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

If a solution containing

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Hg(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq) → 2NaNO₃(aq) + HgSO₄(s)

Moles of Hg(NO₃)₂ = 55.42 / 324.7 ==> 0.1707 moles

Moles of Na₂SO₄ = 16.642 / 142.04 ==> 0.1172 moles

Limiting reagent is Na₂SO₄ as it controls product formation

Moles of HgSO₄ formed = 0.1172 moles

= 0.1172 x 296.65

= 34.757g

Why does wood burn with a flame when it is a solid fuel

Assoli18 [71]

1) Substances ( Solid, Liquid, Gases ) which produce vapors will burn with flame. ... A yellow flame is produced during incomplete combustion of a substance. In Kerosene stove if yellow flame is observed then it indicates the incomplete combustion which may be due to the insufficient supply of oxygen gas. is it from researching so good luck :D
