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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Monica [59]4 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.

.) Neon and HF have approximately the same molecular masses. a.)Explain why the boiling points of Neon and HF differ b.)Compare
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of intermolecular forces in compounds affects the boiling points of the compound. Neon has London dispersion forces as the only intermolecular forces operating in the substance while HF has dipole dipole interaction and strong hydrogen bonds operating in the molecule hence HF exhibits a much higher boiling point than Ne though they have similar molecular masses.

b) The boiling points of the halogen halides are much higher than that of the noble gases because the halogen halides have much higher molecular masses and stronger intermolecular forces between molecules compared to the noble gases.

Also, the change in boiling point of the hydrogen halides is much more marked(decreases rapidly)  due to decrease in the magnitude of hydrogen bonding from HF to HI. The boiling point of the noble gases increases rapidly down the group as the molecular mass of the gases increases.

Consider the following electron configurations to answer the questions that follow: (i) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 (ii) 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 (ii
Ahat [919]

Option (i) would have the highest 2nd Ionization Energy.

Option (i) is Sodium.

Can be Written as 2, 8 , 1

For its 1st Ionization energy... It'd be extremely easy to remove that Electron cos its on the outermost shell.

Now After Removing that Electron...

Sodium's Electronic Configuration Reduces to that of Neon Which is 2, 8.

Neon has a very stable Octet.

It would take an ENORMOUS amount of energy to break its Octet stability... that is... Remove 1 electron from its Octet.

So

Option (i) [Sodium] has the highest 2nd Ionization Energy

Nitrous oxide (n2o), or laughing gas, is commonly used as an anesthetic in dentistry and surgery. how many moles are present in
Gelneren [198K]

Answer is: 0.375 moles are present in 8.4 liters of nitrous oxide at stp.

V(N₂O) = 8.4 L.

V(N₂O) = n(N₂O) · Vm.

Vm = 22,4 L/mol.<span>
n</span>(N₂O) = V(N₂O) ÷ Vm.

n(N₂O) = 8.4 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol.

n(N₂O) = 0.375 mol.<span>
Vm - molare volume on STP.</span>
