The most suitable answer is C becuase they would gain two elctrons to atain that stable OCTET thus becoming a anion with a charge of -2 and by virtue oxidation states of -2. There is however an exception with oxygen in two cases. But I still remain that the best answer would be C
Yes it’s adokngd the formula one
Answer:
1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂
Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)
Step 2: Make an ICE chart
We can relate the solubility product constant (Ksp) with the solubility (S) through an ICE chart.
Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)
I 0 0
C +S +2S
E S 2S
The solubility product constant is:
Ksp = 5.61 × 10⁻¹² = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]² = S × (2S)² = 4S³
S = 1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M
The p sublevel holds 6 electrons because it has 3 orbitals.
