Answer:
8.13 ×10²³ atoms
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of magnesium = 32.45 g
Number of atoms = ?
Solution:
Number of moles of Mg:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 32.45 g/ 24 g/mol
Number of moles = 1.35 mol
Number of atoms:
1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms
1.35 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms/ 1mol
8.13 ×10²³ atoms
Lewis Structure is drawn in following steps,
1) Calculate Number of Valence Electrons: # of Valence electrons in Mg = 2
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
---------
Total Valence electrons = 16
2) Draw Mg as a central atom surround it by two atoms of Iodine.3) Connect each Iodine atom to Mg, and subtract two electrons per bond. In this case we will subtract 4 electrons from total valence electrons. i.e.
Total Valence electrons 16
- Four electrons - 4
----------
12
4) Now start adding the remaining 12 electrons on more electronegative atoms i.e. Iodine.
The final lewis structure formed is as follow,
