Answer:

4- two electrons in the outermost shell

Explanation:

  • Magnesium and Calcium both have 2 electrons in their valence/outermost shell. Chemical properties of an element is determined by the configuration of its electrons in orbits around nucleus. Since the number of protons and electrons are the same it essentially means atomic number determines the chemical behavior of an element so that is why Mg and Ca have same chemical properties.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<em>The elements of Group VIIA (new Group 17 – fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine) are called the halogens (tan column). The term “halogen” means “salt-former” because these elements will readily react with alkali metal and alkaline earth metals to form halide salts</em>

Please help super emergency!!

1) we can calculate the molecular weight of H₃PO₄
atomic mass  (H)=1 amu
atomic mass (P)=31 amu
atomic mass (O)=16 amu 

molecular weight (H₃PO₄)=3(1)+31+4(16)=98 amu.

1 mol (H₃PO₄)=98 g
1 mol= 6.022 * 10²³ molecules.

2) we calculate the mass of 4.00*10²³ molecules.

98 g-------------------6.022*10²³ molecules
x------------------------4.00*10²³ molecules

x=(98 g * 4.00*10²³ molecules) / 6.022*10²³ molecules≈65 g

Answer: 65 g
