The electronic configuration of an element is given below.

Chemistry
1 answer:
drek231 [11]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C. It is reactive because it must gain two electrons to have a full outermost energy level.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The electron configuration of this element ends in 2s²2p⁴.

A filled energy level would end in 2s²2p⁶.

The element will be reactive, because it must gain electrons to have a full energy level, and it needs two more electrons to do this.

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?

Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)

first, balance the equation

2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO

two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule

there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms

but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms

the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.

State the difference between sugar in water and pebbles in water
Usimov [2.4K]
Sugar is made of molecules that are bonded together based on the positively and negatively charged areas.  They will slowly dissolve in water.  Pebbles are solids.  They will sit in water for a long time.  Though shale pebbles will break apart or fall apart.
