When chlorine and magnesium react chemically, how many chlorine atoms will combine with one magnesium atom?
Lesechka [4]
Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

Which of the following explanations accounts for the fact that the ion-solvent interaction is greater for Li than for K
OLEGan [10]

Li+ has a smaller ionic radius than K+

and smaller molecules have more collisions/interactions between each other

<h3>What is ion-solvent interaction ?</h3>

In the case of ion-solvent interactions, the state in which the interac-tions exist is an obvious one; it is the situation in which ions are inside the solvent.

  • Ions are charged particles, and charges interact with other charges. So there will also be ion-ion, as well as ion-solvent, interactions in the solution.

  • In the process of solvation, ions are surrounded by a concentric shell of solvent. Solvation is the process of reorganizing solvent and solute molecules into solvation complexes.
