Answer: Magnesium atom looses 2 electrons to obtain the noble gas structure.

Explanation:

Atomic number of magnesium is 12. Electronic configuration of magnesium :

$[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

In the periodic table, the nearest noble gas to magnesium element is Neon with atomic number 10.

$[Ne]=1s^22s^22p^6$

So, in order to obtain noble gas electronic configuration the magnesium atom will loose 2 electrons.

$[Mg^{2+}]=1s^22s^22p^6$

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; its molar mass is 104.1 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of styrene

frez [133]

The atomic mass of carbon is 12.011 g/mol.
The atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.00794 g/mol.

This means the molar mass of CH is

$12.011+1.00794=13.01894 \text{ g/mol}$

Dividing the given molar mass by this, $\frac{104.1}{13.01894} \approx 8$

This means the molecular formula is $\boxed{\text{C}_{8}\text{H}_{8}}$

What has the lowest ionization erergy?

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Francium (Fr)

Explanation:

From the given choices, francium will have the lowest ionization energy.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron within an atom.

The magnitude of the ionization energy depends on the characteristics of the atom in relation to its nuclear charge, atomic radius, stability etc.

Generally on the periodic table, ionization energy increases from left to right on the table
As you go from metals to non-metals and to gases, the value of the ionization energy increases steadily.
Down the group, the value reduces.
Since Francium is the most metallic of all the given choices, it has the highest ionization energy.
