Answer:

The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.

Explanation:

Element X electron  configuration is represented as [core] ns2np5. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 7A.  The element group is called the halogen family. Element X cannot be stated specifically, because the number is represented with n.  Element X will behave as an anions when it react with a metal(cations). Element X has a charge of -1. The element X will gain electron when it bond with a metal. Element X is a non metal . Elements  in this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine , astatine, and tennessine . The element X have 7 valency electrons.

Element M electronic configuration is represented as  [core]ns2. The group in the periodic table this element belong to is group 2A . The element  group is called the alkaline earth metals family . Element M will behave as a cation when it bond with a non metal. Element M is a metal , therefore it will likely lose electron to form cations during bonding . The charge of element M is 2+. Element M is positively charged. Elements that belong to this group includes beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.  Element M has 2 valency electrons.

The reaction between this 2 ions will likely form an ionic compound . The element M is the cations while the element X is the anions. The element M will lose 2 electron while 2 atoms of element  X will gain 2 electrons.Element M will lose 2 electron to attain a stable configuration while 2 atoms of element X will gain a single electron each to attain a stable configuration.

M²+ and F- . This will form MX2 when you cross multiply the charge. The kind of ionic compound formed is MX2.

8. The time period of artificial satellite in a circular orbit of radius R is T. The radius of the orbit in which time period is
Elena-2011 [213]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The time period of artificial satellite in a circular orbit of radius R is T. The relation between the time period and the radius is given by :

T^2\propto R^3

The radius of the orbit in which time period is 8T is R'. So, the relation is given by :

(\dfrac{T}{T'})^2=(\dfrac{R}{R'})^3

(\dfrac{T}{8T})^2=(\dfrac{R}{R'})^3  

\dfrac{1}{64}=(\dfrac{R}{R'})^3

R'=4\times R

So, the radius of the orbit in which time period is 8T is 4R. Hence, this is the required solution.

How do you Convert 19mL to pL?
s2008m [1.1K]

Picoliter is a unit of measurement for liquids.

One picoliter = 1×10⁻⁹ mililiters

So:

19 mL ---- x pL

1×10⁻⁹ mL ---- 1 pL

1×10⁻⁹x = 19

x = 1,9 × 10¹⁰ pL

or 19,000,000,000 pL

Answer: 1.9 × 10¹⁰ pL

what is the effect of using higher concentration of sodium hydrogen carbonate on the rate of reaction?
Alex
Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. This occurs because a higher concentration of a reactant will lead to more collisions of that reactant in a specific time period.

Reaction rate increases with concentration, as described by the rate law and explained by collision theory. As reactant concentration increases, the frequency of collision increases. The rate of gaseous reactions increases with pressure, which is, in fact, equivalent to an increase in concentration of the gas.

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures
quester [9]

I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:

  1. All non-zero figures are significant
  2. When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
  3. When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
  4. When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
  5. When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Explain how a pure metal is held together. Include a definition of a metallic bond in your explanation. Pl
vazorg [7]

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.
