Lewis Structure is drawn in following steps,
1) Calculate Number of Valence Electrons: # of Valence electrons in Mg = 2
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
---------
Total Valence electrons = 16
2) Draw Mg as a central atom surround it by two atoms of Iodine.3) Connect each Iodine atom to Mg, and subtract two electrons per bond. In this case we will subtract 4 electrons from total valence electrons. i.e.
Total Valence electrons 16
- Four electrons - 4
----------
12
4) Now start adding the remaining 12 electrons on more electronegative atoms i.e. Iodine.
The final lewis structure formed is as follow,
Answer:
compared to sodium, silicon has a higher ionization energy meaning it takes more energy to remove electrons.
Explanation:

<span> It is important to keep the NaOH solution covered at all time because sodium hydroxide is a very good remover of Carbon dioxide from the air means sodium hydroxide absorbs the carbon dioxide from the air react with that so the concentration of your solution will also change if you uncover the NaOH.
The following reaction occurs when sodium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide;
</span><span>2 NaOH(aq) + CO2(g) --> Na3CO3(aq) + H2O(l) </span>
The answer would be C. It looks most like it I believe
