Answer:
- The chemical reaction is not balanced. There is two oxygens on the reactant's side while there's only one oxygen on the products side.
- I would not say it's following the law of conservation of mass as it's not a balanced equation.
- To balance this equation, you would need to add the coefficient of '2' to Magnesium (Mg) on the reactants side, and add the coefficient of '2' to the products side. This would make it so that there's 2 Mg's and 2 O's on both the reactant's side and products side.
edit: I hope this helped you in some way. ^^
The correct option is C.
The pitch of a string refers to the quality of sound that is produced by the string when it vibrates. There are three basic factors that affect the quality of pitch of a string, these are: the tension, the thickness of the string and the length of the string. The higher the thickness of the string, the lower the pitch of the string, thus, increasing the thickness of the string will lower the pitch.
Explanation:
Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. On the other hand, atomic number of iodine is 53 and its electronic configuration is ![[Kr]4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BKr%5D4d%5E%7B10%7D5s%5E%7B2%7D5p%5E%7B5%7D)
.
Hence, there are 7 valence electrons in an iodine atom and there are 2 valence electrons in a magnesium atom.
So, one atom of iodine requires one electron from a donor atom to complete its octet. But one magnesium atom contains two valence electrons.
Therefore, one magnesium atom will combine with two iodine atoms to result in the formation of magnesium iodide as follows.
Therefore, an ionic bond will be formed when magnesium reacts with iodine to make magnesium iodide.
