Answer:

a strong electrolyte

Explanation:

Let's look at the meaning of the following terms so we can obtain the right answer by means of elimination.

- Strong Electrolyte : A strong electrolyte is a solution/solute that completely, or almost completely, ionizes or dissociates in a solution. These ions are good conductors of electric current in the solution.

- Weak Electrolyte : A weak electrolyte is an electrolyte that does not completely dissociate in aqueous solution. The solution will contain both ions and molecules of the electrolyte. Weak electrolytes only partially ionize in water (usually 1% to 10%)

- Strong ion : Strong ions are cations and anions that exist as charged particles dissociated from their partner ions at physiologic pH. Thus, these ions are “strong” because their ionization state is independent of pH.

Strong Electrolye fits the condition and hence is the correct option.

The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its _____.

svlad2 [7]

The closeness of a measurement to its true value is a measure of its accuracy. This term is the degree of which a certain measurement conforms to the correct value or the standard value. It is not the same with the term precision. Precision, on the other hand, is a measure used to characterize the closeness of the data measured.

What is subshell?please help me

melamori03 [73]

<span>Each shell is composed of one or more subshells. The first K shell has one subshell, called ‘1s’; the L shell has two subshells, called ‘2s’ and ‘2p’; the third shell has ‘3s’, ‘3p’, and ‘3d’; and so on. A subshell is the set of states defined by the azimuthal quantum number, l, within a shell. The values l = 0, 1, 2, 3 correspond s, p, d and f subshells, respectively. The maximum number of electrons which can occupy a subshell is given by 2(2l + 1). This gives two electrons in an s subshell, six electrons in a p subshell, ten electrons in a d subshell and fourteen electrons in an f subshell.</span>

Why are there two chlorine atoms for every magnesium atom in the compound NaCl2?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer : Note : The formula give in the question needs to be corrected , the formula of two chlorine atoms for every magnesium atom in the compound is $MgCl_{2}$ which is Magnesium Chloride.

Explanation : To write the formula of the compound we need to know the charge of the atoms or elements involved in the formula.

Charge of Mg is +2 and charge of Cl is -1 , to write the formula of the compound we always criss cross the charges. And also when we write the formula the total (or net) charge of the compound should be 0. Charge of Mg is +2 so to get the total(net) charge as 0 we need two Cl atoms with each -1 charge.

Mg = +2 , Cl = -1 , Cl = -1

2 Cl = -1 + (-1) = -2

Mg = +2 and 2 Cl = -2

+2 -2 = 0

$MgCl_{2}\rightarrow Mg^{+2} + 2Cl^{-}$
