Answer:

The answer to your question is: b

Explanation:

a. Magnesium shares an electron somewhat unevenly from its 3s orbital with the 3p orbital of chlorine producing a mildly polar covalent bond.  This option is wrong because Mg does not share electrons it loses electrons.

b. Magnesium loses and electron from the 3s and gives it up to the 3p of chlorine producing an ionic bond.  This option is correct, Mg loses one electron and Cl receives it, the bond formed between Mg and Cl is ionic.

c. Magnesium does not react chemically with chlorine because magnesium gives up electrons, but chlorine only shares electrons.  This answer is wrong, Mg and Cl react and produce MgCl₂.

d. Magnesium shares an electron from the 3s orbital with the 3p orbital of chlorine producing a covalent bond. Mg does not share electrons and is not able to produce covalent bonds.

How is atomic number different from mass number?
Nimfa-mama [501]
Hello Gary My Man!

Well, as you can clearly see 

<span>The atomic number of an element is basically the number of protons it has. So yes, for every element this is different. Now, the mass number of an element as known, is the number of protons+the number of neutrons.  So theoretically as we can see, this number should be a whole number, but since there are different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons) of each element, most periodic tables take account of that, so they often include decimals as seen. 

So in Short, ALL</span> the atoms of a particular element have the SAME EXACT atomic number<span> (</span>number<span> of protons of course). The </span>atoms of different elements have very different numbers of protons. And of course, the MASS number of an atom is the TOTAL number as known, of protons and of course, the neutrons it contains in it.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2
valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

<em>4 NH₃ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4 NO(g)+ 6 H₂O(g)</em>

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%

Which of the following are physical characteristics of blood? 1. it is more viscous than water 2. its temperature is about 38ºC
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

A property which does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as physical property.

For example, blood is more viscous than water, its pH is slightly alkaline, its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F)  .

On the other hand, a property which changes chemical composition of a substance is known as a chemical property.

For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

Sometimes, the change in color of a substance can also occur due to a chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that following are the physical characteristics of blood.

  • it is more viscous than water.
  • its temperature is about 38^{o}C (100.4^{o}F).
  • the pH is slightly alkaline.
  • it is about 8% of one’s total body weight.
