What’s an ionic compound for magnesium and oxide?

Chemistry
2 answers:
denis23 [38]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula for the ionic compound formed will be MgO

<u>Explanation:</u>

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^{2}

This element will loose 2 electrons and thus shows an oxidation state of +2 units.

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4

This element requires 2 electrons and thus shows an oxidation state of -2 units.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and hence, they form the subscripts of the opposite ion. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Thus, the chemical formula for the ionic compound will be MgO

What is the mass of a sample of iron if that sample lost 2300J of heat energy when it cooled from 80 oC to 30°C? The specific he
irakobra [83]
102 grams.
Equation:
Quantify of heat = mass x specific heat x difference in temperature
We have: quantity of heat : 2300J
specific heat: .449 J/g
difference in t: 80 - 30 = 50
Solve for mass: 2300 = mass x 0.449 x 50
mass = 102.449
2 sig-figs --> 102 grams

How does the Bohr model show you an atom has become an ion?
Step2247 [10]
An early model of the atom was developed in 1913 by Danish scientist Niels Bohr (1885–1962). The Bohr model shows the atom as a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons with the electrons in circular orbitals at specific distances from the nucleus . These orbits form electron shells or energy levels, which are a way of visualizing the number of electrons in the various shells. These energy levels are designated by a number and the symbol "n." For example, 1n represents the first energy level located closest to the nucleus.

Toichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.
31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5

There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.

How many valence electrons are in the element gallium? explain how you determined the number.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

three valence electrons

Explanation:

Gallium has three electrons in the outer energy level and therefore has three valence electrons. The identification of valence electrons is vital because the chemical behavior of an element is determined primarily by the arrangement of the electrons in the valence shell.
