Answer:

12

Explanation:

If you look at the periodic table, you can see that magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.305.  Subtract the number of protons from this to get neutrons.

24.305 - 12 = 12.305

12.305 is the average amount of neutrons a magnesium atom can have.  A magnesium atom can have 12, 13, or 14 neutrons.  The average, based on the natural abundance, is 12.305.  To find which isotope is more abundant, you need to pick the number that is closest to the average.  This would make the most abundant isotope the one with 12 neutrons.

Chlorine reacts with sodium and with hydrogen.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.

Explanation:

Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable

Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.

Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.

While

Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.

Covalent bond involves sharing.

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
