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.

What is the penetrating power of beta
zlopas [31]
The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper but are stopped by aluminum foil. Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.

What is a way of transforming energy by exerting a force over distance?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

a. Work

Explanation:

If you apply a force over a given distance - you have done work. Work = Change in Energy. If an object's kinetic energy or gravitational potential energy changes, then work is done. The force can act in the same direction of motion.
