When chlorine and magnesium react chemically, how many chlorine atoms will combine with one magnesium atom?

Lesechka [4]2 years ago

Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

Answer:

Explanation:

So here's the thing . Sugar molecule is a molecular solid . It a relatively weak molecule

We all know the formula of glucose ( which is a sugar type molecule ) which is C12 H22 O 11 . This is basically bonded together by dipole dipole forces ( remember that this force of attraction is weak ) .on the other hand you have the solution ( which is usually water) .water is held by strong attraction forces known as hydrogen bonding .since this type of bonding is greater than dipole dipole forces .therefore when glucose is dropped in water . water is easily able to obercome the forces that are keeping the glucose molecule intact . therefore the molecule dissolves and breaks into pieces. Hope this helps

3. give reasons

Answer:

A.A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container. Reason: They have high kinetic energy and negligible force of attraction to move constantly moving with high speed in all directions. ... These collisions of the gas particles with the container walls exert pressure on the walls of the container.

B A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container due to imapact of its gas molecules with hight velocity .

C.A wooden table should be called a solid. Reason: It has a definite shape and volume. It is very rigid and cannot be compressed, i.e., it has a solid characteristic.

D.We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert. It is because the molecules of air has less force of attraction between them and a very small external force can separate them and pass through it.
