<span>Ionic compounds are normally in which physical state at room temperature in solid. The answer is A.
</span>Ionic Compounds Are Balanced. Table salt is an example of an ionic compound. Sodium<span> and </span>chlorine<span>ions come together to form </span>sodium chloride<span>, or </span>NaCl<span>. The </span>sodium atom<span> in this compound loses an electron to become Na+, while the </span>chlorine<span> atom gains an electron to become Cl-.</span>
Answer:
B. calcium has electrons in more energy levels than magnesium
Explanation:
atoms are made of three types of subatomic particles - electrons, protons and neutrons.
Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleus of the atom and electrons reside in energy shells
electronic configuration for both Ca and Mg are as follows
Mg - 2,8,2
Ca - 2,8,8,2
outermost energy shell of Mg with electrons is the third energy level
whereas outermost energy shell of Ca with electrons is the fourth energy shell
therefore Ca has a larger atomic radius than Mg as it has one more energy shell than Mg in which electrons reside
The group is might be labeled as VIIB or VIIA.
The oxidation number of chlorine in the Cl-<span> ion is -1.</span>
When two atoms of the same element are covalently bonded, the radius of each atom will be half the distance between the two nuclei because they equally attract the electrons. The reason for this trend is that the bigger the radii, the further the distance between the two nuclei. Hope this helps:)
