Answer : The correct option is, (2) Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O because the formula is MgO.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

As we know that the magnesium is an alkali metal and has 2 valence electron and oxygen is a non-metal and has 6 valence electrons.

As we know that magnesium atom can donates 2 electrons to a oxygen atom to complete an octet then it forms an ionic compound that is magnesium oxide (MgO).

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, MgO

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in MgO = 2 + 6 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O because the formula is MgO.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

\Delta t = 13\,h

Explanation:

Half time is period required to desintegrating the half of the initial number of atoms. Then, the total time is:

\Delta t = 5\cdot (2.6\,h)

\Delta t = 13\,h

Vesnalui [34]
The first example of diffusion is smoking a cigarette when u light it it spreads through the air. 
The second example is lighting a candle in a room it the smoke spreads through the air. 
Smoke can be very bad for the air and the people around because it can cause many problems with your breathing.

What is the chemical equation( formula ) of the reaction of photosynthesis
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Explanation:

This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

slava [35]

Answer:

105 grams PbI₂

Explanation:

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2KI => 2KNO₃ + PbI₂(s)

moles Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.265L(1.2M) = 0.318 mole

moles KI = 0.293(1.55M) = 0.454 mole => Limiting Reactant

moles PbI₂ from mole KI in excess Pb(NO₃)₂ = 1/2(0.454 mole) = 0.227 mol PbI₂

grams PbI₂ = 0.227 mol PbI₂ x 461 g/mole = 104.68 g ≈ 105 g PbI₂(s)
