Oxygen because it is on the left of the periodic table so it has a strong pull.

Answer:

Oxygen atom will strongly attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

Explanation:

The bond formed between magnesium and oxygen atom is an ionic bond.In this type of chemical bond transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another.

Electronegativity : tendency to attract shared purr of electrons towards itself.

The transfer of electrons from one atom to another type of an atom depends upon the electronegativities of the atoms.

  • Higher the electronegative character in an atom more will be the tendency of that atom to attract the electrons towards itself and form electronegative ion.
  • Lower the electronegative character ,more easily it will donate its electrons and  form a electropositive ion.

Out of magnesium and oxygen, oxygen is a second most electronegative element in a periodic table which means it will easily attract the shared pairs of electrons towards it self.

Write the balanced molecular, ionic, and net ionic equations for the reaction when a solution of lithium phosphate is mixed with
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

Molecular equation;

2Li3PO4(aq) + 3CaCl2(aq) >>>> Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6LiCl(aq)

Total ionic equation; . Includes all ions ;

6Li^+(aq) + 2PO4^-3(aq) + 3Ca^+2(aq) + 6Cl^-(aq) >>>> Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6Li^+(aq) + 6Cl^-(aq)

Net ionic equation; remove common ions from total ionic;

2PO4^-3(aq) + 3Ca^+2(aq) >>>> Ca3(PO4)2(s)

Consider the following chemical reaction:
jolli1 [7]

From the calculation, the moles of water produced is 18 moles of water.

<h3>What is a decomposition reaction?</h3>

A decomposition reaction is one in which a substance is split up into smaller parts.

We have the reaction; 2 Cr(OH)3(aq) ------------> Cr2O3(s) + 3H2O(l)

From this reaction;

2 moles of  Cr(OH)3 produced 3 moles of water

12 moles of  Cr(OH)3 will produce;

12 moles  *  3 moles / 2moles

= 18 moles of water

Hence, 12 moles of chromium (III) hydroxide produces 18 moles of water.

28. Which statement is INCORRECT regarding radiation?
mash [69]

Answer:

Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation

There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.

Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.

Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.

The ionizing radiation that is emitted can include alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma raysHelpgamma raysA form of ionizing radiation that is made up of weightless packets of energy called photons. Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body; as they pass through, they can cause damage to tissue and DNA.. Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atoms called radionuclides.
