Chemistry

yaroslaw [1]2 years ago
7 0

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.

Starting with magnesium and oxygen atoms, use Lewis diagrams to show the formation of the
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The electronic configuration of the magnesium atom shows that it has two unpaired outermost shell electrons while that of oxygen shows that it has six outermost shell electrons with two of them unpaired.

By means of elecron transfer, magnesium atom donates its two electrons to the oxygen atom to now have a charge of +2 while the oxygen then has a charge of -2. This results in an ionic bonding between the two atoms.

Explanation:

The structure is found in the attachment below
