Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to  attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

This is the chemical equation for the production of ammonia (chemical formula: NH3) from Nitrogen and Hydrogen (N2 and H2):
scoray [572]

Answer:

Honestly, I'm not even sure what the incorrect student was trying to do. The correct answer is:

( ) = the number of elements

(1)N2 and (3)H2

I think the student added the N2 and H2 to "balance" the chemical equation when instead they should have tried the balance the equation by making sure the atoms on the reactant side are equal to the atoms on the product side. You do this by multiplying the atoms on the reactant side until they equal the product side (not by adding them, as the student did).

How does the kinetic-molecular theory explain the following properties of liquids:
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

"Kinetic energy of the gas is more as compared to that of the liquids. But when compare it to the solid, kinetic energy of liquid is more."

Explanation:

a) Relatively high density : This happens as a result of the tight or packed or can be say close arrangement of the particles.

b) Ability to diffuse : As we know that in gases the constant and the random motion of the particles of the liquid leads to diffusion. But it is very slow as compared to the gases and also porque liquid particles are close together.

c) Ability to evaporate:This happens as a result of the molecules of the liquid having different kinetic energies with particles having higher than that of the average energies that move faster.
