<span>To draw an acceptable lewis structure we must first determine the number of valance elections of the molecule in the ground state, and then adjust the molecule to refect the molecular radial cation after one or more of the electrons have been removed from its outter most shell. The lewis structure should refect the best configuation with good resonance and stability.</span>
You should have given us a table, but I think my table shouldn't be too different.
Let's put oxidation numbers first.
You would have to know that Mg(s) is a reducing agent and Br2(l) is an oxidizing agent. But it is pretty common knowledge that the halogens will tend to take the electrons and alkali and alkaline earth metals will tend to give up electrons.
Mg is oxidized because it gives up electrons; Br2(l) is reduced because it gains electrons. Since the reaction conforms to what we would expect to <em>naturally</em> (thermodynamically favored) occur, it can take place given that the activation energy is supplied.
Answer:
describes properties characteristic of no more than two electrons in the vicinity of an atomic nucleus or of a system of nuclei as in a molecule
Answer:
Phosphates in detergents can lead to freshwater algal blooms that releases toxins and deplete oxygen in waterways. Detergent cleans more effectively in hard water than soap.
