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

adoni [48]

Answer:

The  pressure occupied is 1, 8 atm.

Explanation:

We use the Boyle´s Mariotte ´s law: for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure and volume vary inversely proportionally: P1xV1= P2xV2. The unit of pressure is converted to mmHg in atm.

760 mmHg----1 atm

912 mmHg---x= (912 mmHg x 1 atm)/760 mmHg=1,2 atm

P1xV1= P2xV2

P2=P1xV1/V2= 1,2 atm x 12 L/ 8L= <em>1, 8 atm</em>

Explain why the nucleus of an atom is positively charged but the overall charge of an atom is neutral
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The nucleus is positively charged because it contains all of the protons however the charge of an atom is neutral because there is an equal amount of protons (positive) and electrons (negative) meaning the opposite charges cancel each other out therefore making the atoms overall charge neutral.
