Magnesium oxalate<span> is an inorganic compund </span><span> comprising a magnesium </span> cation<span> with a 2+ charge bonded to an oxalate </span> anion.
In general, metals will lose electrons to become a positive cation and nonmetals will gain electrons to become a negative anion. Hydrogen is an exception, as it will usually lose its electron. Metalloids and some metals can be can lose or gain electrons. This is not always true, as elements such as nitrogen can lose electrons to become positive. When an ionic compound forms, the more electronegative element will gain electrons and the less electronegative element will lose electrons. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Transition metals and lanthanide metals
Explanation:
Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, and noble gases are all part of the main group elements.
Periods and families simply refer to the rows and columns of the periodic table. They don't specify the type of element.
Answer:
14.336 g MnF₂
Explanation:
number of moles = mass / molecular weight
number of moles of MnI₂ = 55 / 309 = 0.178 moles
number of moles of F₂ = 55 / 38 = 1.447 moles
From the reaction and the number of moles calculated we deduce that the fluorine F₂ is a limiting reactant.
So:
if 13 moles of F₂ reacts to produce 2 moles of MnF₃
then 1.447 moles of F₂ reacts to produce X moles of MnF₃
X = (1.447 × 2) / 13 = 0.223 moles of MnF₃ (100% yield)
For 57.2% yield we have:
number of moles of MnF₃ = (57.2 / 100) × 0.223 = 0.128 moles
mass = number of moles × molecular weight
mass of MnF₃ = 0.128 × 112 = 14.336 g
Remember that the number of protons in the nucleus determines an element's identity. Chemical changes do not affect the nucleus, so chemical changes cannot change one type of atom into another. The number of protons in a nucleus does change sometimes, however. The identity of the atom, therefore, changes.
