pashok25 [27]3 years ago
4 0
The electronic structure of Magnesium is 2,8,2
so in order to form a stable ions, it will lose 2 electrons.
Now, the proton number of Mg is 12, electron number is 10.
It will show positive charge.
Conclusion: Mg will lose 2 electrons to form Mg2+.

The atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. However, Mendeleev listed iodine after tellurium in his
QveST [7]

Explanation :

As we know that Mendeleev arranged the elements in horizontal rows and vertical columns of a table in order of their increasing relative atomic weights.

He placed the elements with similar nature in the same group.

According to the question, the atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. So according to this, iodine should be placed before tellurium in Mendeleev's tables. But Mendeleev placed iodine after tellurium in his original periodic table.

However, iodine has similar chemical properties to chlorine and bromine. So, in order to make iodine queue up with chlorine and bromine in his periodic table, Mendeleev exchanged the positions of iodine and tellurium.

As we know that the positions of iodine and tellurium were reversed in Mendeleev's table because iodine has one naturally occurring isotope that is iodine-127  and tellurium isotopes are tellurium-128 and tellurium-130.

Due to high relative abundance of tellurium isotopes gives tellurium the greater relative atomic mass.

In the United States, barometric pressures a re generally reported in inches of mercury (in. Hg). On a beautiful summer day in C
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

773.43 torr

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure (in inHg) = 30.45 inHg

Pressure (in torr) =?

We can convert 30.45 inHg to torr by doing the following:

1 inHg = 25.4 torr

Therefore,

30.45 inHg = 30.45 inHg × 25.4 torr / 1 inHg

30.45 inhg = 773.43 torr

Thus, 30.45 inhg is equivalent to 773.43 torr

Sodium an alkali metal and chlorine a halogen are both in period 3?of the periodic table. Which element has a higher ionization
V125BC [204]

Answer:

chlorine

Explanation:

Because in periodic table across the period from left to right, ionization energy increases due to increase in the nuclear charge as more and more electrons are added to the same shell.
