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.

How many moles of NaOH is needed to neutralize 45.0ml of 0.30M H2SeO4?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

0.027 mole of NaOH.

Explanation:

We'll begin by obtaining the number of mole H2SeO4 in 45mL of 0.30M H2SeO4

This is illustrated below:

Molarity of H2SeO4 = 0.3M

Volume of solution = 45mL = 45/1000 = 0.045L

Mole of H2SeO4 =...?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of H2SeO4 = 0.3 x 0.045

Mole of H2SeO4 = 0.0135 mole

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

H2SeO4 + 2NaOH –> Na2SeO4 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of H2SeO4 required 2 moles of NaOH.

Therefore, 0.0135 mole of H2SeO4 will require = 0.0135 x 2 = 0.027 mole of NaOH.

Therefore, 0.027 mole of NaOH is needed for the reaction.

How does the understanding of the structure of the atom help you see both unity and diversity in forms of matter?
gtnhenbr [62]
<span>How does understanding the structure of the atom help you see both unity and diversity in forms of matter?</span><span>


Understanding the structure of the atom helps to understand unity in matter because all matter is made up of those very similar atoms. Understanding the structure of the atom helps to understand diversity in matter because matter can be different (solid, liquid, gas, hard, soft, etc) and knowing the structure of the atom can explain these differences.

How many moles are dissolved in 1.5 L of a 5.7 M solution?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

8.55 moles

Explanation:

The formula for calculating molarity is moles of solute divided by liters of solution. In this case:

5.7=\frac{x}{1.5}

x=5.7\cdot 1.5=8.55 moles. Hope this helps!
