Answer:

2 electrons

E. neon

Explanation:

Metals lose electrons under certain conditions to attain a noble gas electron configuration. Magnesium has 12 electrons and its electron configuration is

1s² 2s² 2p6⁶ 3s²

When magnesium loses 2 electrons, it acquires the electron configuration of neon (10 electrons).

How many moles of hcl are produced from a reaction with 6.2 moles of h2 given the following equation
Bas_tet [7]
It would be 12.4 moles of HCL because you multiply 6.2 by how many moles of HCL in te equation then divide it by how many moles of h2 in the equation so you multiple 6.2 by 2 moles because there’s two moles of HCL which gives you 12.4 then you divide it by one because in the equation there is only 1 mole of H2
