Answer: -

Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

Explanation: -

Chemical symbol of magnesium = Mg

Chemical formula for magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)₂

Chemical formula for hydrogen gas = H₂

The other reactant with Mg must be water H₂O.

Thus the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

Periodic Table: Why are group 1A elements called alkali metals?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The elements in Group I of the periodic table are called alkali metals. They are called alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali solutions. These metals are very reactive; hence they have to be stored under oil to protect them from corrosion by air and waterwaterwater

Physical science!!! please help
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The correct answer is : No, because there are 4 hydrogen atoms on the reactants side and 2 on the products side.

Explanation:

NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2O+H_2O

The given reaction equation is not balanced because:

  • Number of hydrogen atoms  on both sides are not equal that is 4 on reactants side and 2 on products side.
  • Number of oxygen atoms on both sides are not equal that is 3 on reactants side and 2 on products side.

In a balanced chemical equation number of atoms of each elements are equal on both sides.

So, the balanced chemical equation will be:

NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2O+2H_2O

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does the following isotope contain? ^{18} \text{F}^{-} 18 F −
melomori [17]
Isotope ¹⁸F⁻ contains:
1) p⁺ = 9; number of protons.
Fluorine has a<span>tomic number Z = 9 (total number of protons).
2) e</span>⁻<span> = 10; </span>number of electrons.<span>
In element number of electrons and protons are the same, because element has neutral charge, but because in this example, fluorine is anion with negative charge, it has one electron more.
3) n</span>° = 9; number of neutrons.
<span>Mass number A = 18 is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, so number of neutrons is A-Z = 18-9=9.</span>
