Answer:

A

Explanation:

All of the other options are ways that could help the environment from the chemicals, but if they just continue to use the chemicals then it would hurt the environment

Why does magnesium oxide have a high melting point?
Mandarinka [93]

Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound ( because it consists of a metal and a non-metal)

In ionic compounds, electrons from the outer shell exchange between the atoms so that they each get a full outer shell. Once these electrons are exchange, the atoms will become ions. One ion will have a positive charge, and the other ion will have a negative charge. The positive and negative ions then bond strongly together in a lattice structure, due to the <u>electrostatic forces of attraction</u>.

These <u>electrostatic forces of attraction</u> are very strong and require a lot of energy to break, as such the compound will have <u>a high melting point</u>.

__________________________________________

Now lets look at the ionic bonding between magnesium and oxygen:

In the outer shell of Magnesium, there are 2 electrons.

In the outer shell Oxygen, there are 6 electrons.

Magnesium gives it's two electrons to Oxygen, so that the Oxygen now has a full outer shell of 8 electrons. However, since Oxygen gained two electrons, it will form a negatively charged ion with a charge of -2.

Since Magnesium lost the two electrons, it's second shell (which has 8 eletrons) now becomes the outer shell. So Magnesium also now has a full outer shell. But since it has lost two electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion with a charge of + 2.

The positive Magnesium ion and negative Oxygen ion and now strongly attracted to each other, and form a strong ionic compound (magnesium oxide) with a lattice structure.

The <u>electrostatic forces of attraction</u> between the positive Magnesium and negative Oxygen are so strong that <u>a lot of heat and energy are needed to break them</u>.

<u>Therefore magnesium oxide has a high melting point.</u>

Use the equation to answer the question

CH4 + 2O2→CO2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

CH4 + O2→CO2 + H2O

First look at the C atoms. At first glance they are balanced with 1 C on each side.

Now look at the H atoms. They are not balanced. There are 4 H atoms on the left side and 2 H atoms on the right. Place a coefficient of 2 in front of the H2O. We now have 4 H atoms on both sides.

CH4 + O2→CO2 + 2H2O

Now look at the O atoms. They are not balanced. There are 2 O atoms on the left side and 4 on the right. Place a coefficient of 2 in front of the O2. We now have 4 O atoms on both sides.

CH4 + 2O2→CO2 + 2H2O

The equation is now balanced. Each side has 1 C atom, 4 H atoms, and 4 O atoms.
