<u>Answer:</u> In the reaction, magnesium atoms lose electrons.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom. These are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal or a metal reacts with a polyatomic ion or a reaction between two polyatomic ions takes place.
Magnesium is 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 
This element will loose 2 electrons to form 
ion
Chlorine is 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 
This element will gain 1 electron to form 
ion
By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.
The ionic compound formed is 
Hence, in the reaction, magnesium atoms lose electrons.
The answer is (3)
I always use the acronym SNAP
S- symmetrical is
N- Non-polar
A- asymmetrical is
P-Polar
They do have a fixed shaed because they are crystals. theye are very very tiny, but salt is crystals in the shape of cubes, and sugar has completely irregular crystals. salt can be mined for example - rocks of pure salt are solid, no? :)
Answer:
Explanation:
To convert the mass of Aluminum to atoms, we must first convert to moles by using the formula;
mole = mass/molar mass
Answer:
irreversible changes
Explanation:
Most chemical changes are permanent and cannot be reversed. That is because a chemical change involves changing the molecular composition which can't be reversed. A common example of a chemical change would be burning wood. The wood burning into ash is changing the molecular composition of the wood transforming it to ash. Now can ash be changed back into wood? No, it is a "irreversible change."
Hope this helps.
