Answer:

B. Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O.

Explanation:

Metals react by loosing electrons while non metals react by gaining electrons.

Reactions occur as each element strives to attain an octet electron configuration in the outer energy level.

It is easier for magnesium to loose 2 electrons than to gain six because loosing the two requires less energy.

Oxygen on the other hand reacts by gaining the two electrons lost by magnesium since it is easier to gain the two than to loose the six. Gaining the two electrons for oxygen requires less energy than loosing the six.

In summary, magnesium looses two electrons that are transferred to oxygen.

In warmer weather gases tend to expand and take up more room, thus increasing pressure. but in colder weather they will condense or contract and take up less space, therefore lowering the pressure of the tire in this situation.

What mass of sodium chloride is needed to prepare 200 ml of a 0.1 M solution
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

C. 1.17 grams

Explanation:

  • The molarity is the no. of moles of solute in a 1.0 L of the solution.

<em>M = (mass/molar mass)solute x (1000/ V)</em>

M = 0.1 M, mass = ??? g, molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol, V = 200.0 mL.

∴ mass of NaCl = (M)(molar mass)(V)/1000 = (0.1 M)(58.44 g/mol)(200.0 mL)/1000 = 1.168 g ≅ 1.17 g.

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The correct option is: Carbonate ion < Carbon dioxide < Carbon monoxide

Explanation:

Bond energy is defined as the average energy needed to break a chemical covalent bond and signifies the strength of chemical covalent bond.

The bond strength of a covalent bond depends upon the <u>bond length and the bond order.</u>

Carbon monoxide molecule (CO) has two covalent bond and one dative bond. Bond order 2.6

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has two carbon-oxygen (C-O) double bonds of equal length. Bond order 2.0

Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) has three C-O partial double bonds. Bond order 1.5

Also, the bond length is <u>inversely proportional to the bond order and bond strength.</u>

Therefore, <u>order of C-O bond length:</u> Carbon monoxide<Carbon dioxide<Carbonate ion

<u>Order of C-O bond order</u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide

<u>Order of C-O bond strength or energy</u><u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide</u>
