In a simple model of a neutral magnesium atom with the elements most common mass number. What must happen to an atom of magnesiu

m in order to become a magnesium ion MG^+2 ? Does it lose two electrons and become an ion? or does it lose two neutrons and become a different isotope?

It loses two electrons to become an ion.

(As Neutrons carry no charge changing them would not effect the atom so that's how you know it's the electron :) )

A student measures the volume of a solution to be 0.01370 l. How many significant digits are in this measurement?
Mkey [24]

A student measures the volume of a solution to be 0.01370 have 5 significant digits in this measurement.

<h3>What are significant digits?</h3>

The significant digits are the minimum number from zero to nine for reporting any measurement where the digits are uncertain.

The significant digits starting from zero are not significant digits, decimal is not a significant digit, and ending zero after the decimal are significant digits.

Therefore, the student measures the volume of a solution to be 0.01370 5 significant digits are in this measurement.

Balance the following equations. Do not include the states of matter.<br><br> (a) C + O2 → CO
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C + O2 → CO2

Explanation:

C + O2 → CO ----------------- (1)

from equ (1) on reactant side, C has 1 mole, O has 2 moles

from equ (1) on product side, C has 1 mole, O has 1 mole

Thus, to balance the equation, O should have 2 moles

C + O2 → CO2

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which forms.
vichka [17]

The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size

Make since? i hope this helps
