A noble gas electron configuration follows the octet rule in which the configuration is composed of electrons. the charge of a neutral atom is zero. meanwhile, a magnesium atom bears a + 2 charge which means in order to be stable, it has to gain two electrons to be stable.

Explanation:

It is known that metals are the species which easily lose an electron to acquire stability.

For example, atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2.

Hence, in order to attain stability it will readily lose two electrons. As a result, it will form Mg^{2+} ions.

Thus, we can conclude that 2 electrons must be lost by the element Mg.

The energy of the universe is constant. That what mentioned by the first law of thermodynamics,
Goryan [66]

Answer:

No, ΔE does not always equal zero because it refers to the systems internal energy, which is affected by heat and work

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy is neither created nor destroyed. This implies that the total energy of a system is always a constant.

So, according to the first law of thermodynamics we have that ΔE = q + w. This means that the value of  ΔE depends on q (heat) and  w(work). Hence ΔE is not always zero since it depends on the respective values of q and w.

The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over.

What's the difference between gold and other metals
Zanzabum
Well, gold is way different form other say for instance what if you get a really good ring not to expensive or cheap, but its in between those characteristics what if u get a gold ring to compare now one might tarnish or fade, but if you really look at it that gold one will not it really all dependents on what metals your talking about cause all metals aren't the same some fade and some don't . Also the oxygen level is weak for other metals, but gold it different it can still keeps its shine .

 - That's the best explanation i can give IF ITS NOT ENUH OR NOT RIGHT JUH COMMENT BELOWW↓↓ I WILL THINK OF SOMEThING ELSE THANKS! YOU HAVE A GREAT DAYY .
