Explanation:
Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. To attain noble gas configuration it is necessary for the magnesium atom to lose two valence electrons and therefore, it forms 
ions.
On the other hand, atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. To attain noble gas configuration it needs to gain two electrons. And, on gaining the electrons it forms 
ions.
Hence, when both magnesium and oxygen ions chemically combine with each other then it forms the compound magnesium oxide (
).
This is because magnesium transfer its two valence electrons to the oxygen atom and due to the formation of opposite charges on these atoms they get attracted towards each other.

Answer:
Explanation:
1. A measure of how quickly velocity is changing is the acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. The rate at which a body is changing its velocity is known as the acceleration.
It is measured in the unit m/s²
2. Speed in a given direction is the velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity which measures the magnitude of motion in a specific direction. It is simply speed in a given direction.
When we say a motorcycle travels at the rate of 5m/s due east, we are describing the velocity of such body.
3. Force that resists moving one object against another is the friction
Friction is a force that opposes motion. It prevents a body from moving.
4. Measure of the pull of gravity on an object Weight
Weight is a measure of the amount of gravitational force on a body. It is mathematically expressed as;
W = mg
W is the weight, m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity
5 Tendency of an object to resist a change in motion is inertia
Inertia is the tendency of body to resist change in motion. It is the ability of a body to remain in a perpetual state of rest.
6 Size is the magnitude
Answer:
C- A proton has about the same mass as a neutron .
Explanation:
In an atom such as a carbon atom, the masses of the proton and neutrons are the same.
The mass of the electrons is very negligible.
- Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
- Neutrons do not carry any charges
- Both protons and neutrons have similar masses.
- They contribute the bulk of the mass of the atom.
- The electrons carry negative charges and they have negligible masses.
The mass of protons and neutrons are similar.
