Answer:
The formula for the anhydrous compound that was part of the mixture called natron that was used by the Egyptians is Na2(CO3)10(H2O).
They use this compound for medicine, cookery, agriculture, in glass-making and to dehydrate egyptian mummies.
Compound of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate was the name of the resulting hydrate that formed.
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
