D- a new substance forming
Answer 2.04
Explanation
Electronegativity decreases down the group and increases across the period in the periodic table.
In the period two of the periodic table,we have the following values for electronegativities with respect to its elements.
Li...........0.98
Be.........1.57
B..........2.04
C.........2.55
N..........3.04
O...........3.44
F...........3.98
Ne........n.a
The value that should be where M is is 2.04
C. losing one electron
Explanation:
It is because the potassium atom electronic configuration is 2,8,8,1 where by if it loses one electron it becomes stable
Hello Camkirkland,
I think that you are trying to balance this equation.
In order to balance a chemical equation, the numbers of atoms of each element must be equal on both sides of the equation.
In this particular equation, the answer would be (2) HBr + (1) Mg(OH)2 ---> (1) MgBr2 + (2) H2O.
Hope this answers your question!
