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.

A researcher recorder that a chemical reaction require 2.90 gal water and raised the temperature of the reaction vessel by 57°F.
Ivan

Answer:

10.875L

Explanation:

The problem here is a simple conversion. The conversion is from gal to liters Liter is a SI unit for recording volume as stated in the problem.

Given that:

              1 gallon of water = 3.75L

              2.90 gallon will be 2.9 x 3.75; 10.875L

The following diagram shows various positions of the moon in its orbit around Earth. The image of the moon shows its phase as se
Serga [27]

Answer:

Position D

Explanation:

One fourth of the Moon will be visible from Earth when the Moon is in position D. The reason why this is the right position is that the Moon will be in a position where the majority of its surface that is lighted by the Sun is facing the Sun. On the other hand, the angle is just right that about one quarter of the lighted part of the Moon is also facing the Earth. This will result in a perception from the Earth's view point that the Moon is lighted at one quarter of its surface.
