The complete answer contains the answer choices.


This is the complete question:


Atoms of which element react spontaneously with Mg2+(aq)? (1)chromium
(2)barium
(3)iron
(4)zinc


Answer: option 2. barium.


Explanation.


1) Mg ²⁺ (aq) is the aquous cation of the metal Mg.


2) Only a metal more reactive than Mg will be able to exchange with it the oxidation states.


3) Mg is an earth alkalyne metal (group 2 of the periodic table). The metals from this group are more reactive than the metals in the groups to its right: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... Only the alkalyne metals (those in group 1) are more reactive than the earth alkalyne metals.


4) Of the list, barium is the only alkalyne metal, so it is more reactive than Mg and will be able to deliver 2 electrons to transform the cations Mg²⁺ into Mg while the very Ba will become Ba²⁺.


5) Chromium, iron and zinc are transition metals, so less metallic (reactive) than Mg.

What is the term for the smallest bit into which a chemical substance can be divided and still have the properties of that subst
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Molecule

Explanation:

molecule of the substance.  You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original  'compound'.

Here's an example:

-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.

-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.

When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride".  That's SALT !  It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.
