Answer:

Option E is correct.

Explanation:

An atom of magnesium and two atoms of chloride react and yield the compound of magnesium chloride

Mg + 2Cl -> MgCl₂

Therefore, the correct option is the option E.

Option A shows the decomposition of MgCl₂ to two Mg atom and 1 Cl atom. The reaction is unbalanced. The question has asked for the formation of MgCl₂. Option A is incorrect.  

Similarly, option C shows the decomposition of MgCl₂, however, the reaction is balanced. Option C is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect as there are 2 Cl atoms on the reactant side but no Mg atom.  

Option D is incorrect as there only 1 Mg atom on the reactant side but no Cl atoms.

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Mg + 2Cl $\longrightarrow$ MgCl$_{2}$}}

Explanation:

Convert the word equation to a chemical equation.

one atom magnesium + two atoms Cl form magnesium chloride

                Mg               +          2Cl           ⟶             MgCl₂

Determine the mass of 1 mol of gold (Au), of aluminum chloride (AlCl3), and of glucose (C6H12O6)
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: Mass of 1 mol of gold (Au) is 197g , of aluminum chloride(AlCl_3) is 133.5 g and of glucose (C_6H_{12}O_6) is 180 g

Explanation:  Mass of 1 mole of a substance is called its molar mass.

a) 1 mole of Au contains 6.023\times 10^{23}atoms and weigh 197g.

b) 1 mole of AlCl_3 will weigh=1\times {\text {mass of 1 mole of Aluminium}}+3\times {\text {mass of 1 mole of chlorine atom}}

Thus mass of 1 mole of AlCl_3 will be =1moles\times {27g/mol}+3moles\times {35.5g/mol}=133.5g

c) 1 mole of C_6H_{12}O_6 will weigh=6\times {\text {mass of 1 mole of carbon}}+12\times {\text {mass of 1 mole of hydrogen atom}}+6\times {\text {mass of 1 mole of oxygen}}

1 mole of C_6H_{12}O_6 will weigh=6\times 12g/mol+12\times 1g/mol+6\times 16g/mol=180g

Answer:

An atom has a nucleus, made up protons and neutrons, which is surrounded by a cloud of electrons.

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible part of any element that takes place in a chemical reactions.

These are the fundamental building blocks of every element and even compounds.

  • There are three known subatomic particles found within an atom.
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles in an atom
  • Protons are the positively charged particles of an atom
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

Both protons and neutrons are located within the tiny space called nucleus at the center of an atom.

Electrons moves round in orbitals at the spaces outside of the nucleus.
