Answer:

A more stable state can result from the union.

Explanation:

Consider the following reaction:

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

when magnesium combine with chlorine it form magnesium chloride.

Magnesium is alkaline earth metal and present in group two. Magnesium has two valance electrons. Magnesium atom loses its two electron to complete the octet.  Chlorine is halogen element and have seven valance electrons. Chlorine needed one electron to complete the octet. When it combine with magnesium atom it accept the two electrons from magnesium atom that's why two chlorine atoms are combine with one magnesium atom to make the compound neutral.

How do we turn petroleum into energy we use?
arlik [135]

You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.

Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.

Why is air considered a mixture not a compound?
blondinia [14]
<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>
