Answer:

Hydrogen gas is produced.

Explanation:

Generally when metals react with acid they gives metallic salt along with the evolution hydrogen gas.

So, when magnesium metal is added to hydrochloric acid it gives magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas as a product.

$Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)$

Describe how a covalent bond can involve a sharing of the electrons, but still develop charges on the atoms

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outermost (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability.

Which is more reactive oxygen or hydrogen? explain why?

mash [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Which is more reactive hydrogen or oxygen?

Hydrogen is not particularly reactive. For example, just mixing hydrogen and oxygen gas will not cause a reaction at room temperature, but many metal elements oxidize at least on the surface in air. ... It is combustible because oxygen wants electrons and takes them from hydrogen to form water.
