Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

This is because it is a metal and a non-metal and they form an ionic bond. Here, the formula is $MgCl_2$ because Mg loses 2 electrons Cl . on gains 1. So to balance the charges, there needs to be 2 Cl and 1 Mg.

Answer:

ionic bond

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are formed when two or more atoms share electrons between them. So two chlorine anions form an ionic bond with one magnesium cation for form MgCl2, a neutral chemical compound.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The formula for the anhydrous compound that was part of the mixture called natron that was used by the Egyptians is Na2(CO3)10(H2O).

They use this compound for medicine, cookery, agriculture, in glass-making and to dehydrate egyptian mummies.

Compound of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate was the name of the resulting hydrate that formed.

A sample of gaseous neon atoms at atmospheric pressure and 0 °c contains 2.69 * 1022 atoms per liter. the atomic radius of neon

omeli [17]

Explanation

Radius of neon atom : 69 pm = $69\times 10^{-12} m$

Volume occupied by the one atom: $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times(69\times 10^{-12} m)^3=1.37\times 10^{-30} m^3$

given that $2.69\times 10^{22}$ atoms are present in 1L

1 L = 0.001 $m^3$

The volume occupied by the $2.69\times 10^{22}$ neon atoms

$2.69\times 10^{22}\times 1.37\times 10^{-30} m^3=3.68\times 10^{-8} m^3$

Fraction of volume occupied by the neon atom:

$=\frac{3.68\times 10^{-8} m^3}{0.001 m^3}=3.68\times 10^{-11} m^3$

$3.68\times 10^{-11} m^3$

The fraction of of volume occupied by the neon atom is very less than the 1 L which indicates the presence of large amount of empty space between the atoms of the gas.
