Why do magnesium and oxygen need to be heated for a reaction to occur?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]3 years ago
7 0

Because flame provides a source of heat so that the magnesium metal atoms can overcome their activation energy. Activation energy is the minimum energy required in order for a chemical reaction to proceed. When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide.

How many valence electrons should be used to draw a Lewis structure of methane CH4
olganol [36]

Answer:

8 valence electrons

Explanation:

There are 4 valence electrons in carbon because it is in group 4A of the periodic table. There is 1 valence electron per hydrogen based on its position on the periodic table, but CH4 has 4 hydrogens in it. So 1 times 4 is 4. Add the 4 valence electrons from carbon with the 4 electrons from H4 to get 8.

Explain how particles move before during and after melting
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Particles would move more freely, while still staying close together depending on the shape of the liquid

Explanation:

Melting is the process of going from a solid to a liquid due to the increase in heat/energy. This increase in heat/energy increases the speed at which the atoms within the object moves. Lets say we had an ice cube. While it is a cube, the particles inside the cube are slow and compact, staying close together.

When enough energy is gained, this makes the particles begin to move faster, gaining heat and energy which results in the ice cube melting and moving more freely than normal.
