The molecular weight of Mg(OH)2 : 58 g/mol
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Mg(OH)2 compound
Required
The molecular weight
Solution
Relative atomic mass (Ar) of element : the average atomic mass of its isotopes
Relative molecular weight (M) : The sum of the relative atomic mass of Ar
M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)
So for Mg(OH)2 :
= Ar Mg + 2 x Ar O + 2 x Ar H
= 24 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol + 2 x 1 g/mol
= 24 + 32 + 2
= 58 g/mol
D:
When electrons are gained, the charge of the atom decreases.
When you are given an atom with a charge, the oxidation of that atom is the charge. So by going from a Cr^3+ (Oxidation Number = 3) to a Cr^2+ (Oxidation Number = 2), the Oxidation Number thus decreases.
Answer:
(c) P and Sb
Explanation:
We can determine the number of valence electrons of an element:
- If it belongs to Groups 1 and 2, the number of valence electrons is equal to the number of group and the differential electron occupies the s subshell.
- If it belongs to the groups 13-18, the number of valence electrons is equal to: "Number of group - 10" and the differential electron occupies the p subshell.
Which pair of elements have the same valence electronic configuration of np³?
(a) O and Se. NO. They belong to the group 16 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np⁴.
(b) Ge and Pb. NO. They belong to the group 14 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np².
(c) P and Sb. YES. They belong to the group 15 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np³.
(d) K and Mg. NO. They belong to the groups 1 and 2 and the valence electron configuration is ns¹ and ns².
(e) Al and Ga. NO. They belong to the group 13 and the valence electron configuration is ns² np¹.
