Answer:

it tends to be more negative across a period

Explanation:

We have to remember that the periodic table is arranged accordingly to the number of electrons that the elements have in their outer valance shell, so the closer you are to the right of the periodic table the closer you get to the elements taht have the most electrons in their outer valance shells, this means that they have a greater negative electron affinity, which means that the elements on the right are more willing to gain an electron.

The answer is it tends to be more negative down a group. This is because as you go down the periodic table, the elements have more electron shells in their atoms. This makes the outermost shells less attracted to the nucleus due to their greater distances from the nucleus. Therefore, these shells are less likely to attract electrons (hence lower electron affinity) and are even more likely to lose electrons from their outer electron orbits.

If a compound containing only magnesium and oxygen consists of 0.564 g mg and 0.376 g o, what is the compound's empirical formul
jasenka [17]
    the   Empirical  formula    of  the  compound  is  calculated    as  follows

find  the  moles  of  each  element
moles =  mass/molar  mass

that  is Magnesium= 0.564 g /24 g/mol  = 0.0235  moles

For  oxygen    =  0.376 g /16 g/mol=  0.0235  moles
find  the   mole  ratio  by  dividing   both     moles  of  by  0.0235 moles

magnesium =  0.0235/0.0235= 1mole
oxygen=  0.0235 /0.0235= 1mole

therefore  the  empirical    formula  =  MgO
