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.

An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: Mg_xCl_2
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.
