<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.

How many moles of ions are there in 3 moles of calcium chloride?
klemol [59]

Answer:

9 moles of ions

Explanation:

Our compound is: CaCl₂(s)

We dissociate it:

CaCl₂(aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

Per 1 mol of chloride, we have 1 mol of calcium cation and 2moles of chlorides, so in total we have 3 moles of ions.

Therefore in 3 moles of chloride, we would have 9 moles of ions (3 . 3)

density of a piece of ebony wood is 1.174 g/ml. what is the volume in quarts of a 2.1549 lb piece of this ebony wood?
lapo4ka [179]

0.88qt

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of ebony wood = 1.174g/ml

Mass of wood = 2.1549lb

Unknown:

Volume of the wood in quarts = ?

Solution:

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Mass is the quantity of matter the wood contains.

Volume is the space it occupies.

To solve this problem, convert the mass form pounds into grams and plug into the density equation to find volume.

Then convert the volume from mL to quarts.

 Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

 Volume = \frac{mass}{density}

    1 pound = 453.592g

   2.1549 lb =  2.1549 x 453.592 = 977.5g

Volume = \frac{977.5}{1.174} = 832.6mL

     1 quart = 946.353mL

        Therefore 832.6mL x \frac{1qt}{946.353} = 0.88qt
