Answer:
The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).
The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.
The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.
The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.
The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
Answer:
About 60.
Explanation:
Mendeleev knew of 63 elements. He wrote their properties on cards and arranged them in order of atomic mass.
That's how he discovered that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses.
Answer:
In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.

Answer:
I think it is B
Explanation:
because the others don't look right
Answer:
magnesium= +2
aluminum= +3
phosphorous= -3
lithium= +1
fluorine= -1
Explanation:
As fluorine having seven valance electrons in its outer most shell with atomic number nine. And for completing its outer most shell it needs one more electron that is why it form ion of -1 value.
Now Aluminum has three electrons in its outer most shell with atomic number 13. So it need to lose these three electrons in order to be in stable state that is why it have ion in +3 state.
Same rule apply for other elements too.
