DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
7 0

The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.

Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.

They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration

The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2

The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are

[Ne]3s^{2}  and [Ar]4s^{2} respectively.

Why doesn’t neon readily form an ionic bond?
Goryan [66]

By definition of noble gases, neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

<h3>Noble gases</h3>

Noble gases are not very reactive, that is, they practically do not form chemical compounds. This means that they do not react with other substances, nor do they even react between atoms of the same gas, as is the case with diatomic gases such as oxygen (O₂).

The chemical stability of the noble gases and therefore the absence of spontaneous evolution towards any other chemical form, implies that they are already in a state of maximum stability.

All chemical transformations involve valence electrons, they are involved in the process of covalent bond formation and the formation of ions. Therefore, the practically null reactivity of the noble gases is due to the fact that they have a complete valence shell, which gives them a low tendency to capture or release electrons.

Since the noble gases do not react with the other elements, they are also called inert gases.

<h3>Neon</h3>

Neon does not easily form an ionic bond because it belongs to the group of noble or inert gases, so its reactivity is practically nil.

MgSO4 x 7H2O:
natka813 [3]

Answer:In regards to writing the formula, we know that magnesium has a charge of 1+ and sulfate, SO4, has a charge of 1-. Sulfate is a polyatomic ion so the charge of the whole thing is (SO4)1-. When you combine them you end up with MgSO4 and the "heptahydrate" is seven water molecules.
