The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
Answer:
neutron
Explanation
neutrons have no net charge
Hey there!
MgCl₂
Find molar mass of magnesium chloride.
Mg: 1 x 24.305
Cl: 2 x 35.453
--------------------
95.211 grams
One mole of magnesium chloride has a mass of 95.211 grams.
We have 2.40 moles.
2.40 x 95.211 = 228.5
To 3 sig figs this is 229.
The mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride is 229 grams.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Sugar
(a) Dissolving in water
The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
2. Magnesium sulfate
(a) Dissolving in water
The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.
