<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 is it important for a scientist studying greenhouse effect to know about mater,forces and energy
vova2212 [387]
<span>In the 19th century, scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere cause a "greenhouse effect" which affects the planet's temperature. These scientists were interested chiefly in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century, Svante Arrhenius calculated that emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming. Other scientists dismissed his idea as faulty. In 1938, G.S. Callendar argued that the level of carbon dioxide was climbing and raising global temperature, but most scientists found his arguments implausible. It was almost by chance that a few researchers in the 1950s discovered that global warming truly was possible. In the early 1960s, C.D. Keeling measured the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: it was rising fast. Researchers began to take an interest, struggling to understand how the level of carbon dioxide had changed in the past, and how the level was influenced by chemical and biological forces. They found that the gas plays a crucial role in climate change, so that the rising level could gravely affect our future. (This essay covers only developments relating directly to carbon dioxide, with a separate essay for Other Greenhouse Gases. Theories are discussed in the essay on Simple Models of Climate.)</span>

Determine whether the reaction will be spontaneous at high temperatures only, at low temperatures only, at all temperatures, or
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The rusting of iron is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ----> 2Fe2O3(s) [rust]

The rusting of iron is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts with oxygen in presence of moisture and forms iron oxide.

This reaction takes place in a faster rate when there is low temperatures in the atmosphere.

When temperature is low, the moisture in the atmosphere is more and hence, rate of rusting is more.

Why have we not drilled or mined deeper into earth ??
alexdok [17]
<span>Scientists have determined that the center of the earth is 6371 km below the surface. But how has this been determined? Many people might answer that question by saying scientists can drill into the Earth with machines. However, the drilling rigs that scientists use can only drill about 20 km in the Earth which is not very deep! In other words, we can only drill into upper part of the crust of the earth. Extremely high temperatures and pressures within the Earth make drilling into it very difficult</span>
