Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc

ed equation? In other words I'm trying to find pure magnesium's formula.. would it be Mg2? Or just Mg?) I have SiCl4 for Silicon tetrachloride so far..
Is it: SiCl4 + Mg = Si + MgCl2 [unbalanced]?
Balanced: SiCl4 + 2Mg = Si + 2MgCl2 ??

Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

            A covalent chemical bond is one in which <u>outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill their respective orbitals</u>.

Explanation:

                   Covalent bonds are formed between two atoms having their electronegativity difference less than 1.7. In this type of bonding the valence electrons of one atoms forms molecular bond with the valence electrons of another atom. The electrons are mutually shared.

                   Covalent bond can be non-polar as for example formed between hydrogen and carbon atoms.

                   Also, covalent bond can be polar in nature as that formed between hydrogen and chlorine atoms because the chlorine atom is more electronegative and hence attracts the electrons more towards itself making density of electrons less on hydrogen atom.

kondaur [170]
<span>First:

46.7 g of N with 53.3 g of O,

=> mass ratio O to N = 53.3 / 46.7 = 1.1413

Second

17.9 g of N and 82.0 g of O.

mass ratio of O to N = 82.0 / 17.9 = 4.5810

Third

Ratio of the mass ratio of O to N in the second compound to the mass ratio of O to N in the first compound =

= 4.5810 / 1.1413 = 4.013 ≈ 4

lakkis [162]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

The mass of the reactants should not change, in fact it would be equal because the only thing that changes is the form in which your products are in. The reactants will still have the same amount of mass from the products as no products were removed or added, the structure changed, the mass did not.
