I want to say physical change? i’m not quite sure, i hope this helps tho!
In a solid the particles are all really close together and stuck like that. As the solid melts and becomes a liquid the particles spread out. A solid won’t easily change its shape because the particles are bound together but in a liquid the shape is more fluid, take water when you pour it into a container it will change to fit the shape of a container this is because the particles aren’t as close and can move around. The particles of a solid change when it melts because it is changing states to a liquid.
Answer:
2Mg(s) +O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)
Explanation:
Mg(s) +O₂(g) → MgO(s)
When a chemical equation is balanced, the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the arrow. We usually balance O and H last.
In this case, the number of Mg atoms is equal on both sides. Thus, let's move on to balance the O atoms. On the left side, there are 2 O atoms, while there is only 1 O atom on the left side. Thus, write a '2' in front of MgO.
Mg(s) +O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)
Now, the number of Mg atoms is not equal. Write a '2' in front of Mg to balance it.
2Mg(s) +O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)
The equation is now balanced with 2 Mg atoms and 2 O atoms on each side.
