Answer: Scientific reasoning
Explanation:
A scientific reasoning can be defined as the justification which connects the evidence with that of the claim and it rules out all those claims that are not supported by any evidence. It explains the fact that how evidence can support a claim and scientifically acceptable conclusion can be drawn. An argument is always based on one or more claims which can either be true or evidentially proved.
Magnesium is the correct answer
Answer:
The two would end up repelling each other very strongly and more energy would ultimately be required to keep the metal-ligand system in place
Explanation:
A complex is made up a central metal atom or ion and ligands. Ligands are lewis bases and they possess lone pairs of electrons. A complex is formed when electrons are donated from ligand species to metals.
However, if the ligand has a negative charge at a particular location and we try to put electrons from the metal near the electrons from the ligand, the two would end up repelling each other very strongly and more energy would ultimately be required to keep the metal-ligand system in place.
These are the answer options of this question and the comments about their validity:
<span>A) It dictates that the number of molecules on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.
False: the number of molecules can change. Take this simple reaction for example:
2H2(g) + O2 -> 2H2O
You start with 3 molecules, 2 molecules of H2 and 1 molecule of O2, and end with 2 molecules of water. Then the number of molecules of each side is different.
B) It dictates that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of a chemical equation.
TRUE: in a chemical reaction the atoms remain being the same at start and at the end of the process. Given that each atom has a characteristic mass, their conservation implies the law of conservation mass.
C) It states that the mass of the reactants must remain constant in order for a chemical reaction to proceed.
FALSE. The mass of the reactants changes during a chemical reaction, while they transform into the products.
D) It does not apply to chemical reactions.
FALSE: It is an important law used in the calculus related with chemical reactions.
