Answer:

D)They have the same number of valance electrons.

Explanation:

The elements in the same group have same number of valance electrons thus have similar properties.

Consider the elements of group two i.e alkaline earth metals. All have two valance electrons and show similar properties.

Magnesium, barium, calcium etc.

All alkaline earth metals form salt with halogens.e.g,

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

Ba + Br₂ → BaBr₂

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Ca + Br₂ → CaBr₂

They react with oxygen and form oxides of respective metal.

2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO

2Ba + O₂ → 2BaO

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

these oxides form hydroxide when react with water,

MgO + H₂O → Mg(OH)₂

BaO + H₂O → Ba(OH)₂

CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂

With nitrogen it produced nitride,

3Mg + N₂ → Mg₃N₂

3Ba + N₂ → Ba₃N₂

3Ca + N₂ → Ca₃N₂

With acid like HCl,

Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂

Ba + 2HCl → BaCl₂ + H₂

Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂

Answer:

C) Six valence electrons, solid, nonmetal

Explanation:

Six valence electrons, solid, nonmetal. Element C is oxygen since it forms the -2 ion and is a gas. All the other elements in that column have six valence electrons, must be a solid and are nonmetals.

I<br> n a mole there are 602

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

A mole of any element contains 602, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 atoms of that element, that is 602 sexillion US, 602 trilliard UK or 6.02 x 1023 atoms. This number is called Avogadro's Number after Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1858) who discovered this number-of-atoms-in-a-mole relationship.

If sufficient acid is used to react completely

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Solution,

Mass of Mg - 21gm

molar mass of Mg - 24gm

moles = Given mass/ Molar mass

moles = 21/24 = 0.875

1 mole of Mg produce 1 mole of H2 gas

so 0.875 mole of Mg will produce 0.875 moles of H2 gas

One mole of H2 gas = 22.4 litre

0.875 mole of H2 gas = 0.875×22.4

0.875 mole of H2 gas = 19.60 litre

So the nearest ANSWER is Option four 19.37 litre.
