Answer:

The correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

When Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O), magnesium oxide is formed.

This reaction is spontaneous and occurs with oxidation number +2 of magnesium and oxidation number -2 of oxygen. It is an ionic union, so magnesium transfers its electrons to oxygen.

We conclude that the correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.

If an atom has 11 atomic number and 11 neutrons how many electrons are there??
Fantom [35]

Answer:

11 electrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of sodium is 11. This tells us that sodium has 11 protons and because it is neutral it has 11 electrons. The mass number of an element tells us the number of protons AND neutrons in an atom (the two particles that have a measurable mass).

Lead−206 is the end product of 238u decay. one 206pb atom has a mass of 205.974440 amu. (a) calculate the binding energy per nuc
Dovator [93]
The atomic number for Pb is 82
∴ Pb has 82 protons and 206-82 = 14 protons
The actual mass of Pb nuclei is
=(82 × mass of the proton) + (124 × mass of neutron)
=(82× 1.00728) + (124 × 1.008664) amu
= 207.6713 amu
The mass of lead which is given is 205.9744 amu
∴mass defect is
m = 207.6713 - 205.9744 = 1.6969 amu
=1.6969 × 1.66054 × 10⁻²⁷kg
=2.818 × 10⁻²⁷kg
The binding energy is E = mc²
C is the speed of light in vacuum = 2.9979 × 10⁸m/s
∴ E = 2.532 × 10×⁻¹⁰ J/mol
= 2.532 × 10⁻¹⁰ × 6.023 × 10²³ J/mol 
= 1.53811 × 10¹⁴ J/mol
