<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.

Loess helps to form very fertile soil. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
Feliz [49]

The given statement is true.  

A classic, predominantly silt-sized sediment, which is produced due to the gathering of wind-blown dust is known as loess. About 10 percent of the land region of the Earth is covered by loess or identical sediments. The loess seems to form into very rich soils. Under suitable climatic circumstances, it is one of the most agricultural productive terrains around the globe.  

The soils formed by loess seems to be extremely drained. It is considered that the fertility of the loess soils is mainly because of porosity and cation exchange capacity.

Determine the number of milliliters of 0.00300 M phosphoric acid required to neutralize 40.00 mL of 0.00150 M calcium hydroxide.
a_sh-v [17]

The volume of H₃PO₄ : 13.33 ml

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.003 M  Phosphoric acid-H₃PO₄

40 ml of 0.00150 M Calcium hydroxide-Ca(OH)₂

Required

Volume of H₃PO₄

Solution

Acid-base titration formula  

Ma. Va. na = Mb. Vb. nb  

Ma, Mb = acid base concentration  

Va, Vb = acid base volume  

na, nb = acid base valence  (amount of H⁺/OH⁻)

H₃PO₄⇒3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻ ⇒ 3 H⁺ = valence = 3

Ca(OH)₂⇒Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻⇒ 2 OH⁻ = valence = 2

Input the value :

a = H₃PO₄, b = Ca(OH)₂

0.003 x Va x 3 = 0.0015 x 40 x 2

Va = 13.33 ml

Write the chemical symbols for three different atoms or atomic cations with 12 electrons.
ladessa [460]

1) Atomic number of magnesium (Mg) is 12, it means that it has 12 protons and 12 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium atom: ₁₂Mg 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s².

2) Atomic number of aluminium (Al) is 13, it means that it has 13 protons and 13 electrons., but if it lost one electron, it will have 12 electrons and 13 protons and become aluminium cation Al⁺.

Electron configuration of aluminium cation: ₁₃Al⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s².

3) Atomic number of silicon (Si) is 14, it means that it has 14 protons and 14 electrons., but if it lost two electrons, it will have 12 electrons and 14 protons and become silicon cation Si²⁺.

Electron configuration of silicon cation: ₁₄Si²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s².

How do we use particle theory to explain physical properties of matter??<br>thank you!!​
olchik [2.2K]
The properties of matter can best be explained using a model in which all materials are composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules and ions). There is empty space between particles and particles are constantly moving (their speed is changed by temperature).
