Answer:
8 electrons
Explanation:
Magnesium is present on group 2.
It has 2 valence electrons.
Electronic configuration of magnesium:
Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)
2nd energy level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)
3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)
3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.
It react with halogens and form salt. For example,
Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂
Answer:
The mass of reactants and products are equal hence the reaction obeys law of conservation of mass
Explanation:
The law of mass conservation states that for a closed system to all transfer of mass, the mass of system must remain constant over time. This means for a chemical reaction, the mass of reactants must equal the mass of products.
if 2.796g of Zn reacts with 2.414g of sulphur to produce 4.169g of ZnS ad 1.041g of unreacted sulphur, then it means that accorfing to the law of mass conservation, the mass of reactants (zinc and sulphur), must be equal to mass of products (zinc sulfide and unreacted sulphur)
Mass of reactants = 2.796g + 2.414g =5.21g
Mass of products = 4.169g + 1.041g=5.21g
The atomic number is always equal to the number of protons. It will be equal to the number of elections also if the atom has a neutral charge.
