What is the electron configuration of an electrically neutral atom of magnesium?

Chemistry

Monica [59]3 years ago
3 0

The electron configuration of an atom can be determined by identifying first the right order of the electron shells. The atomic number of Magnesium is 12 so we expect the electrons also sum up to 12. The condensed electron configuration is Ne 3s2. The complete configuration is 1s2  2s2 2p6 3s2.

Explain how heat is exchanged through potential and kinetic energy
padilas [110]

Answer:

Kinetic And Potential Energy Working Together All forms of kinetic energy are the result of a previous state of potential energy. For example, the stored chemical potential energy of a battery converts to electrical kinetic energy to transport electricity to a light bulb, which radiates thermal kinetic energy.

Read the chemical equation.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:- D. 1.8 moles of Fe and 2.7molCO_2 .

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

Fe_2O_3+3CO\rightarrow 2Fe+3CO_2

let's first figure out the limiting reactant using the given moles and mol ratio:

1.8molFe_2O_3(\frac{3molCO}{1molFe_2O_3})

= 5.4 mol CO

From calculations, 5.4 moles of CO are required to react completely with 1.8 moles of Iron(III)oxide but only 2.7 moles of CO are available. It means CO is limiting reactant.

Products moles depends on limiting reactant. Let's calculate the moles of each reactant formed for given 2.7 moles of CO.

2.7molCO(\frac{2molFe}{3molCO})

= 1.8 mol Fe

2.7molCO(\frac{3molCO_2}{3molCO})

= 2.7molCO_2

So, the correct choice is D.  1.8 moles of Fe and 2.7molCO_2 are formed.

which atoms attains a stable valence electron configuration by bonding with another atom 1) neon 2) radon 3) helium 4) hyrdogen
Sergeu [11.5K]
Well, when an atom attains a stable valence electron, it means that the outer electrons are complete and so cannot attain any more electrons. For the first shell, it is complete when it has 2 electrons, the second shell is complete when it has 8 electrons, all the other shells also have a particular number when complete. Anyway, i believe the answer is HYDROGEN because when HYDROGEN combines with another atom of HYDROGEN, the outer shell is completed. This is because HYDROGEN has only 1 electron. If the two HYDROGENS, which both have 1 electron combine, they make the electrons 2, which is complete for the first shell, HYDROGEN ends in the first shell. Since the electrons become 2, the shell is at stable valence. In all the other options, this happens;
NEON- It has 10 electrons, 2 in the first shell and 8 in the second. So the the shells are already complete, so it can't bond with any thing, which is completely against the question.
RADON- Radon has 86 electrons.
HELIUM- Helium has 2 electrons, so the shell is already full, and cannot bond, so it goes against the question. The question says BY BONDING.
 So the answer is definitely 4) HYDROGEN
Hope i helped. Have a nice day, by the way, i'm very sure it's hydrogen.
