I think each oxygen atom can share two electrons with the other so that each atom has eight valence electrons. The oxygen atoms forms each two covalent bonds since two pairs of electrons are shared in an oxygen molecule. The sharing of electrons helps the atom to achieve stable structures.
2 elements with same properties as K could be rubidium and sodium. Elements in the same column (vertical) will have similar properties to each other
Mg has 12 protons- this is given on the (generally) the top left of the element on the periodic table. We know protons have a positive charge so to make the element neutral there would be 12 electrons to balance the protons. The neutrons is usually the same number as the protons but since the majority of an atoms weight is in protons and neutrons- electrons mass in negligee it’s so small- you can subtract the number of protons from the mass number. In this case : 24-12= 12. So there are 12 neutrons
The coefficient in a chemical formula represents the amount of each chemical present. The amount of a substance is measured in moles.
Answer:
A solid has the molecules tightly packed together and are held in a fixed pattern.
A liquid has molecules that are packed together in a random fashion and can move freely.
A gas has molecules that are widely separated and randomly move and collide.
