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

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process by which molecular nitrogen in the air is converted into ammonia or related nitrogenous compounds in soil or aquatic systems. Atmospheric nitrogen is molecular dinitrogen, a relatively nonreactive molecule that is metabolically useless to all but a few microorganisms.

an element "x" has the election configuration 2,8,3 this element is found in ______group and_____period A.3,llla B.llla,3 C.vlla
iogann1982 [59]

This element is found in group 3A, period 3

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)

  • K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
  • L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
  • M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
  • N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons

Electron configuration of element X : 2.8.3 , so :

K shell = 2 ⇒1s²

L shell = 8⇒2s²2p⁶

M shell = 3⇒ 3s²3p¹

Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids

The outer shell 3s²3p¹ : located in group 3A and period 3

group⇒valence electron ⇒3

period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒3

The pressure in an automobile tire filled with air is 245.0 kPa. If Po2 = 51.3 kPa, Pco2 = 0.10 kPa, and P-others = 2.3 kPa, wha
Kay [80]

Answer:

PN₂ = 191.3 Kpa

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure of tire = 245.0 Kpa

Partial pressure of PO₂ = 51.3 Kpa

Partial pressure of PCO₂  = 0.10 Kpa

Partial pressure of others =  2.3 Kpa

Partial pressure of PN₂ = ?

Solution:

According to Dalton law of partial pressure,

The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.

Mathematical expression:

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ

Now we will solve this  problem by using this law.

P(total) = PO₂ + PCO₂ + P(others)+ PN₂

245 Kpa = 51.3 Kpa + 0.10 Kpa + 2.3 Kpa + PN₂

245 Kpa = 53.7 Kpa+ PN₂

PN₂ = 245 Kpa -  53.7 Kpa

PN₂ = 191.3 Kpa
