Answer:

Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O.

Explanation:

This is because metals like to lose electrons whereas non metals like to gain electrons in an ionic compound. MgO is an ionic compounds. So Magnesium being a metal in group 2 of periodic table, it wants to donate 2 electrons to get to the octet rule, so it donates its electrons and oxygen accepts them to fill its octet rule.

Answer B

Mg has a positive ionic charge because it hoped to loose its two electrons to make it stable or happy

O had a negative ionic charge bc it wants to gain electrons to make it stable or happy

therefore,

QA) O would not want/wouldn't use up the energy to transfer 6 of its electrons and Mg would accept O's electrons
Q3) goes against laws of chemistry
Q4) Mg can not gain 2 extra electrons unless it is a double molecule (which it is not) a

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change.

A chemical reaction is a process that occurs when one or more substances are changed into one or more new substances.

Differences

Chemical properties are properties that can be observed or measured when a substance undergoes a chemical change.

Physical properties are properties that can be observed without bringing a chemical change.

Another one

chemical properties; can be used to predict how substances react.

chemical changes; It is mostly used in identifying or describing the substance.

lys-0071 [83]
The true statements are B, C, and D
-first ( A ) the concentrations of reactants and products are equal is false, As the concentrations of reactants and products may be different from each other.
- But (B) the concentrations of reactants and product remains constant is true, as the equilibrium remains when there is no change in the concentration of the reactants and products.
-(c) reactants are being converted to products (and vise verse) is true also, as there are reactions still happened at a constant rate so it looks like nothing is happening.

All of the following are reasons why astronomers have difficulty looking at distant stars except:
OleMash [197]

Answer:

B. They don't understand how red shift affects stars.

Explanation:

Astronomers face difficulty in observing distant stars because they are so far that they are easily viewed by telescope. Light pollution is major concern in present times . There is very less window present for observation. The dim light from the distance stars also gets distorted due to atmosphere and effects astronomical seeing.

Astronomers are aware about the Doppler effect for light that is the redshift effect on the star light. It is not a difficulty for astronomers.
