<span>The Persian Wars mark an important turning point not only in Greek history but, indeed, in the course of all European civilization. First and foremost, because of its victory Greece was saved from the threat of external rule and could develop on its own. Handed this independence, the Greeks chose to follow a path which forever changed the course of modern life. Without their success in this conflict, they would, no doubt, never have had the liberty, means or conviction to invent, discover or create all they did: not just history but philosophy, science, drama, art, architecture, indeed most of the cornerstones of modern civilization.
Another consequence of this victory, less immediate but equally important, was that it prevented the Persians from dominating the lands to the west of Greece—as noted above, it's likely the fertile fields of Italy and Sicily, not the rough dust of Greece, were the real target of Xerxes' imperial designs—and there a tiny settlement called Rome had just begun to sprout, at that moment hardly a dot on the map, but it would later develop into a crucial player in the history of the West. Rome won freedom, too, in the Persian Wars, without ever fielding a single fighter. It's impossible to imagine how vastly different our world would be if Persia had conquered or exterminated the Romans before they'd ever had a chance to grow.
Thus, the Greeks laid the groundwork for later Western culture, and Herodotus the foundation for understanding it. If so many of his facts look suspect or even prove incorrect, if he sometimes seems to set speculation and scandal over sober criticism and science, before condemning him we should recall that he founded this entire enterprise called history, a discipline which still bears the name he gave it. His critics should also bear in mind it's only because Herodotus set us on this path that we can even scorn his methods in the first place. To this most uncommon "common man," we owe an enormous collective debt.</span>
In order to calculate the number of atoms, we must first know the number of moles present. And
moles = (mass present) / (molecular mass)
Therefore, the moles of Mg present are
170 / 24 = 7.08
The number of atoms in a mole of substance is given by Avagadro's Number which is 6.02 x 10^23
Since there are 7.08 moles, there are:
7.08 * 6.02*10^23
= 4.26 * 10^24 atoms

Answer: The density of 0.50 grams of gaseous carbon stored under 1.50 atm of pressure at a temperature of -20.0 °C is 0.867 g/L.
Explanation:
- d = m/V, where d is the density, m is the mass and V is the volume.
- We have the mass m = 0.50 g, so we must get the volume V.
- To get the volume of a gas, we apply the general gas law PV = nRT
P is the pressure in atm (P = 1.5 atm)
V is the volume in L (V = ??? L)
n is the number of moles in mole, n = m/Atomic mass, n = 0.50/12.0 = 0.416 mole.
R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K).
T is the temperature in K (T(K) = T(°C) + 273 = -20.0 + 273 = 253 K).
- Then, V = nRT/P = (0.416 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(253 K) / (1.5 atm) = 0.576 L.
- Now, we can obtain the density; d = m/V = (0.50 g) / (0.576 L) = 0.867 g/L.
Answer:
(a) The Lewis structure is shown in the image below.
(b) 
(c) Calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond.
(d) Calcium atom loses electrons.
Explanation:
Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or 
There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.
Fluorine is the element of group 17 and second period. The electronic configuration of the element fluorine is - 2, 7 or 
There is 1 valence electron of fluorine.
The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom is complete.
Thus, calcium loses 2 electrons to 2 atoms of fluorine and these 2 atoms of fluorine accepts each electron to form ionic bond. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete and they become stable.
Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is .
