The correct electron configuration for magnesium is: 1s 22s 22p 63s 3 True False

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Magnesium is the element of second group and third period. The electronic configuration of magnesium is - 2, 8, 2 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

There are 2 valence electrons of magnesium.

Only the valence electrons are shown by dots in the Lewis structure.  

As, stated above, there are only two valence electrons of magnesium, so in the Lewis structure, two dots are made around the magnesium symbol.

Given that the electronic configuration is:- 1s^22s^22p^63s^3 .

Orbital s cannot accommodate 3 electrons and also in magnesium it has 3s^2 . Hence, the statement is false.

A reaction in which two ions switch places is which type of reaction?
AURORKA [14]

A reaction in which two ions switch places is called double-displacement reaction.

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction usually takes place between two positive ions or two negative ions. When anions or cations of totally different compounds change places, two totally different compounds are formed.  

<u>Syntax for double displacement reaction: </u>

AB + CD --> AD + BC

It can also be defined in simple terms as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place is called double displacement reaction.

The chemical reaction is as follows:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)  --> NaCl(aq)  + H2O (l)

How does Ionic Polarization works?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Ionic polarization. As the name suggests, ionic polarization occurs in ionic materials. It occurs when an electric field is applied to an ionic material then cations and anions get displaced in opposite directions giving rise to a net dipole moment

What mass of Neon gas is needed to occupy 2.56 L tube at STP?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Mass = 2.222 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of  neon gas = 2.56 L

Temperature = 273 K

Pressure = 1 atm

Mass of neon gas = ?

Solution:

PV = nRT

n = PV / RT

n = 1 atm × 2.56 L/ 0.0821 atm. L / mol. K× 273 K

n = 2.56 L.atm / 22.4 atm. L/ mol

n = 0.11 mol

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.11 mol × 20.2 g/mol

Mass = 2.222 g
