This would be more of a chemistry question. Remember magnesium has a charge of 2+, and would need to hand off its two extra electrons. Fluorine can only take one electron at a time, so there needs to be two fluorines to take one magnesium's 2 electrons. 

With lithium, it has a +1 charge, so it has one extra electron, which it can hand off to just 1 fluorine atom. 

Another way of looking at this is: Mg^{2+} + 2F^{-} = MgF2  (the charges must balance out to zero)

Li^{+} + F^{-} = LiF (the charges balance out to zero)

Which is not poor conductor?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Metal vase

Explanation:

Pure water is not a good conductor, and neither is plastic or cotton. Metal is the only one of the four that actually is a good conductor. For example, lighting hitting metal, this happens because the lightning connects to anything that has some kind of conductant.

Differentiate between angular displacement and linear displacement.​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The angular displacement is not a length (not measured in meters or feet), so an angular displacement is different than a linear displacement. ... As the object rotates through the angular displacement phi, the point on the edge of the disk moves distance sa along a circular path.

Two men, Joel and Jerry, each pushes an object that are identical on a horizontal frictionless floor starting from rest. Joel an
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

W = F\cdot \Delta s

Where:

W - Work, measured in joules.

F - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\,J

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

W_{net} = W_{Joel}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

3- (a) What is the period of rotation of Earth in seconds? (b) What is the angular velocity of Earth? (c) Given that Earth has a
ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation:

a) The Earth makes 1 rotation in 24 hours.  In seconds:

24 hr × (3600 s / hr) = 86400 s

b) 1 rotation is 2π radians.  So the angular velocity is:

2π rad / 86400 s = 7.27×10⁻⁵ rad/s

c) The earth's linear velocity is the angular velocity times the radius:

40075 km × 7.27×10⁻⁵ rad/s = 2.91 km/s
