<span>Atomic number of magnesium is 12. That implies that in ground state magnesium has 2 electrons in the first level, 8 electrons in the second level, and 2 electrons in the third level. That is represented by 2 8 2. That the atom is in an excited state means that one electron (at least) is a upper level than where it is in grounded state. That situation is represented by the option (1) 2 7 3, where one electron from the second level has been promoted to the third level.</span>

The answers are (1) and (3). Because the number of atoms in magnesium is 12.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus. The amount is identical to the amount of charge in the core. The atomic number uniquely identifies chemical elements. In uncharged atoms, the atomic number is also the same as the number of electrons. The sum of atomic numbers Z and the number of neutrons N gives the mass number A of an atom. Because protons and neutrons have roughly the same mass (and the mass of electrons is ignored for many purposes) and nucleon bond energy is always small compared to nucleon mass, when the atomic mass of each atom is expressed in units of integrated atomic mass (into a quantity called "mass relative isotope "), worth about 1% of all A. numbers. Atoms with the same atomic number Z but neutron N numbers are different, and therefore have different atomic masses, known as isotopes. More than three-quarters of the elements present in nature are in a mixture of isotope conditions, and the average mass of the isotope for the mixture of isotopes of an element (called relative atomic mass) in the environment on Earth, determines the standard atomic weight of the element. Historically, the weight of these atomic elements (compared to hydrogen) is the amount that can be measured by chemists in the 19th century.

The writing of the elemental symbol was introduced in the Middle Ages by John Dalton (1810) who made a very simple elemental symbol as a circle. Along with the development of the discovery of the element J.J Berzelius (1779-1848) made the symbol of the element that is used as the basis for writing the element symbol until now, with the provisions: one symbol element consisting of one letter, then the writing must be in capital letters. Two symbol elements consisting of two letters, then the writing with capital letters in the first letter, and lowercase letters for the second.

The chemical formula of a substance states the type and the relative number of atoms contained in that substance. The number that states the number of atoms of an element in a chemical formula is called the index number. Chemical formulas may be either molecular formulas or empirical formulas.  

The formula could be a formula that states the number of atoms of the weather that frame one molecule of a compound. So the molecular formula expresses the actual arrangement of matter molecules.

Why do elements have different<br> properties?
Ann [662]
I think because each element has its own number of protons and neutrons, giving it its own atomic number and mass (correct me if I’m wrong please)

How many litres of fluorine gas at stp can be collected from the decomposition of 90.7 g of AuF3
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: 12 L fluorine gas at STP can be collected from the decomposition of 90.7 g of AuF_3

Explanation:

The balanced decomposition reaction is shown as

2AuF_3\rightarrow 2Au+3F_2

moles of AuF_3=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{90.7g}{254g/mol}=0.36moles

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of AuF_3 gives = 3 moles of flourine gas

Thus 0.36 moles of AuF_3 gives = \frac{3}{2}\times 0.36=0.54moles of flourine gas

Using ideal gas equation :

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm ( at STP)

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = moles of gas = 0.54

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/Kmol

T = temperature = 273 K ( at STP)

Putting the values we get :

1atm\times V=0.54mol\times 0.0821Latm/Kmol\times 273K

V=12L

Thus 12 L fluorine gas at STP can be collected from the decomposition of 90.7 g of AuF_3
