Answer : Hg (Mercury)

Explanation : In the given series of elements Na falls after the Cu in the reactivity series, for Pb it also falls after Cu, and for Mg it is the same.

Only Hg which is mercury can spontaneously donate its electrons to copper in the solution because it falls before Cu in the reactivity/activity series.

Explanation:

According to the reactivity series, lead, magnesium, and sodium are all reactive than copper.

Hence, when copper is added to a solution along with anyone of these metals (lead, magnesium, and sodium) then copper will be displaced by them.

Whereas mercury (Hg) being less reactive than copper will not be able to spontaneously donate electrons to copper in solution.

If every oxygen ion is combined with an aluminium ion has a charge of -2,the charge of each aluminum ion would be -3.

Uncharged Aluminum atom must need to lose it's electrons,in order to form the bond with oxygen which has vacant orbitals

ion

atom that has a positive or negative charge because it lost or gained one or more electrons

chemical bond

the attractive force that holds atoms or ions together

ionic bond

a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron and the other atom gains electrons to form ions

chemical formula

a combination of chemical symbols and numbers to represent a substance

covalent bond

bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms

Do you think one mole of the different substances has the same amount?

It's because of Avagadro's number.

It is known as Avagadro's constant too.
It states that at constant temperature one mole of any substance contain same number of atoms i.e n no of atoms
