The number of moles of moles of Magnesium,chlorine and oxygen atoms in 7.80 moles of Mg(ClO4)2 is calculated as below
find the total number of each atom in Mg(ClO4)2
that is mg = 1 atom
Cl = 1x2 = 2 atoms
O = 4 x2 = 8 atoms
then multiply 7.80 moles with total number of each atom , to get the number moles of each atom
that is
Mg = 7.80 x1= 7.80 moles
cl = 7.80 x2=15.6 moles
O = 7.80 x8= 62.4 moles
The answer is six because it is in group six A on the periodic table.
Answer:
DUPLET RULE: The tendency of an atom to acquire an outer most shell of two electrons is called duplet rule. OCTET RULE: The tendency of an atom to acquire an outermost shell of eight electrons is called the octet rule.
I think the answer is B. But I am not sure
