Answer:

The answer to your question is Mg loses its valence electrons and acquire a positive charge (Mg⁺²).

Explanation:

Valence electrons are important for an element to attach to another one, metals lose these electrons while nonmetals gain electrons to complete the octet rule.

Magnesium is a metal that loses these electrons so when it becomes an ion Magnesium will have a positive charge  Mg⁺².

Drag each label to the correct location on the chart. Classify each reaction as endothermic or exothermic.
fomenos

A reaction is exothermic if Δ<em>H</em> (or \Delta H _\text{rxn} in some textbooks) is negative:

  • H₂ + Br → 2 HBr, ΔH < 0.
  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O, ΔH < 0.

A reaction is endothermic if Δ<em>H</em> is positive:

  • 2 NH₃ → N₂ + 3 H₂, ΔH > 0.
  • 2 HCl → H₂ + Cl₂ ΔH > 0.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

The enthalpy of a system is the sum of its internal energy. ΔH < 0 indicates that the reactants lose internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves, and those internal energies must have converted to some other form of energy. They typically end up as thermal energy. The reaction will release heat since it is exothermic.

Similarly, ΔH > 0 indicates that the reactants gains internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves. As a result, the reaction must have gained energy from its surroundings. The reaction will be endothermic since it absorbs heat.

Which of the following is a factor in natural selection?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Although all of these answers are similar, it seems that all three are the answer. I am sorry if the answer ends up being B but I'm pretty sure the answer is D. Charles Darwin's evolution theory "evolved", get it, from the natural selection theory. The theory is described as "the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring." However, some factors that effect natural selection are competition, selection and variation. I believe all three fit the answer and therefore I believe answer D is correct.
