Answer:
The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures
Explanation:
If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.
We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.
The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

Answer:
Number of protons
Explanation:
There are three sub atomic particles. These are;
- Protons
- Electrons
- Neutrons
Among these three particles, only one determines the identity of the element. This is the Protons. The number of protons which is also called the atomic number determines the identity of an element. For instance, atom with one proton is Hydrogen and n other element can have atomic number of one.
Correct answer is magnesium bromide. This is an ionic compound with metal forming a positive ion - K+ and halogen forming a negative ion - Br-. When group 7 element form ions they have a suffix -ide. Bromine is the element and when it forms a negative ion bromine is called bromide with the suffix.
Magnesium gives 2 electrons and bromine can take only 1 electron, therefore 2 bromine atoms are needed. Therefore magnesium forms ionic bonds with 2 bromine atoms.
The compound is called magnesium bromide
Answer:
ΔS° = - 47.2 J/mol.K
Explanation:
ΔS°= 4(S°mH3PO4) - 6(S°mH2O) - S°mP4O10
∴ S°mH2O(l) = 69.9 J/mol.K
∴ S°mP4O10 = 231 J/mol.K
∴ S°mH3PO4 = 150.8 J/mol.K
⇒ ΔS° = 4*(150.8) - 6*(69.9) - 231
⇒ ΔS° = - 47.2 J/mol.K
