We may use the molecular formula of the compound to determine the number of oxygen atoms in one formula unit. The formula unit is:
Mg(NO₃)₂
Here, we can see that there are two nitrate ions in each mole, and each mole of nitrate ion contains three oxygen atoms. Thus, there are 6 oxygen atoms in each formula unit of magnesium nitrate.

The molecular formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in the molecule.
Oxygen exists as molecules (diatomic molecules). T<span>he fundamental particles that make up a sample of Oxygen are pairs of atoms, rather than individual atoms. 
</span><span>You can count the number of atoms of each element in a chemical formula by multiplying the coefficient by the subscript, recognizing that those coefficients and subscripts that are not shown are equal to 1. So, in our case there are 6 atoms of oxygen.</span>

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Ice

Explanation:

The Ice would absorb heat to change the temperature from anything below 1 degree celsius in order to become liquid water. After being a liquid water it'd absorb further amount of energy in order to increase it's temperature to 100 degrees. Therefore, the Ice absorb more water

Describe how calcium and fluorine bond together to form calcium fluoride
monitta

Answer:<em>   A transfer of electrons occurs when fluorine and calcium react to form an ionic compound. This is because calcium is in group two and so forms ions with a two positive charge. ... A pairs of shared electrons makes one covalent bond. The compound formed is known as a molecule***</em>

The atomic weight of boron is reported as 10.81, yet no atom of boron has the mass of 10.81 amu. explain
aivan3 [116]
<span>Boron has a lot of different isotopes, most of which having a very short half life (ranging from 770 milliseconds for Boron-8 down to 150 yoctoseconds for boron-7). But the two isotopes Boron-10 and Boron-11 are stable with about 80.1% of the naturally occurring boron being boron-11 and the remaining 19.9% being boron-10. The weighted average weight of those 2 isotopes has the value of 10.81. The reason they use the average mass of an element for it's atomic weight is because elements in nature are rarely single isotopes. The weighted average allows us to easily compare relative number of atoms of one element against relative numbers of atoms of another element assuming that the experimenters are getting isotope ratios close to their natural ratios.</span>
