Chemistry

Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell. 

As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.

The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.

How many moles in one gram of Calcium ??
kirill [66]

Answer:

0.0249 moles in 1 g of Ca

Explanation:

Let's think in the molar mass of Ca.

Ca = 40.08 g/mol

So 1 mol weighs 40.08 grams, or in the opposite 40.08 grams is the weigh of 1 mol

The rule of three will be:

40.08 g are contained in 1 mol

1 g may be contained in (1 . 1) / 40.08 = 0.0249 moles
