Mg ^+2 N^-3

Mg3N2. Magnesium nitride. I believe this would be the chemical formula.

Answer: The chemical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3N_2$

Explanation:

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

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

Nitrogen is the 7th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$

This element requires 3 electrons and thus shows an oxidation state of -3 units.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and this form the subscripts of the other ions. It results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Thus, the chemical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3N_2$

Why does a candle relight if a match is held above the wick just after the flame is blown out?

shutvik [7]

Answer with Explanation:

A candle relights when a match is held above the wick because its trail of smoke still contains some of the wax. When candles are burned, the heat of the flame turns the the wax (which is originally solid) into liquid (commonly near the wick) and then evaporates as gas. The vaporized wax actually protect the wick and this is the reason why it is not burned. So, when you put off a candle, the vaporized wax is still present near the wick. This, remember, holds heat and light energy. Thus, this explains why the candle can be relighted once you hold a match above the wick. It then allows the match to ignite.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Li Ming thinks that chlorophyll is a reactant of photosynthesis, but her classmate Julian disagrees. Who is correct, and why?

Eddi Din [679]

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Julian is correct because chlorophyll is neither used up nor formed in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis. The reactants in photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight.
In photosynthesis carbon dioxide combines with water to produce glucose and oxygen.
Chlorophyll in plant is a green pigment that is used to trap sunlight during photosynthesis.
