An atom of an element with two valence electrons reacts with two atoms of an element with atomic number 17 to form an ionic comp

An atom with two valence electrons in the periodic table belongs to the alkaline earth metals or 2nd group. The element with atomic number 17 is chlorine with 7 valence electrons. Ionic compounds are formed between the atoms of elements with high electronegativity difference. More the difference, more they are likely to form ionic bond.

Thus in this case, the most likely formed ionic compound will be with alkaline earth metal with high electropositivity. The highest electropositive element in group 2 is barium thus, ionic compound formed will be BaCl_{2}

In  BaCl_{2}, barium will donate its two electrons, one to each chlorine atom. The resultant compound will be ionic in which all the atom have complete octets.

A book that weighs 19 Newtons sits on a table. With what force
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

We know there's two forces acting on a book while it sits on a table:the force of gravity pulling it down, and the normal force of the table acting upward on the book. The book isn't accelerating while it sits there. That's because the weight of the book is being counteracted by the normal force of the table.

Explanation:

There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.

What is the unique geological feature found on Mercury surface?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The surface of Mercury has landforms that indicate its crust may have contracted. They are long, sinuous cliffs called lobate scarps. These scarps appear to be the surface expression of thrust faults, where the crust is broken along an inclined plane and pushed upward.

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little bit.

A nuclear explosion may release tremendous amounts of energy in the form of noise, heat, visible light, radiation and an atmosph
posledela

light and radiation is able to experience by an observer watching the explosion from the vacuum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Basically in the nuclear explosion, there will be an enormous of energy released as noise, heat, visible light, radiation and atmospheric wave.
  • Usually sound and wave propagate through medium but in vacuum, there will be no medium to transfer this type of energy. so there is no chance of sound and wave transfer.  
  • Light and radiation travel in vacuum because they didn't need the medium to transfer .
