<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u><em>According to formula, magnesium gives electron forming a cation which is the property of metals according to periodic table.</em></u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Mg has a valency of two electrons which means it has two electron in the valence shell. It gives two electrons to an oxygen atom which becomes a anion.
  • They form two ionic bond forming MgO.
  • And the atoms of valency two are present in 2nd column which contains metals.
  • Hence from formula, it can be known that Mg is a metal.

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
DiKsa [7]
B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

15.6g Ag2SO4

Explanation:

2AgNO3 + H2SO4 --> Ag2SO4 + 2HNO3

-2x              -x

0.1-2x.       0.155-x

x=0.05      x=0.155

0.05mol Ag2SO4 x 311.78g = 15.6g Ag2SO4

Most of the water a vascular plant takes in ______. Goes back into the soil Evaporates in the process of transpiration Is used t
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

EVAPORATES IN THE PROCESS OF TRANSPIRATION

Explanation:

Plants takes in water from the soul via it's root system. Small amount of the water are used for growth and metabolism of the plants. Some are used in the process of photosynthesis. The bulk of the remaining are lost through transpiration. This takes place in the stomata of the plants. The stomata are numerous on the leaf surfaces and are guarded by cells which allow for opening and closing of the stomata. Transpiration helps the plants to remove CO2 produced by photosynthesis, cools the plant and also changes osmotic pressure of the plant which allows for the flow of nutrients and water from the root to the leaves, flowers, fruits.
