<u>Answer:</u> The ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses the electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom. This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons to form $Mg^{2+}$ ion

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

This element will gain 1 electron to form $Cl^{-}$ ion

So, for every 1 atom of magnesium, 2 atoms of chlorine are required. Thus, the chemical formula becomes $MgCl_2$

Hence, the ionic compound formed is magnesium chloride having formula $MgCl_2$

When two 1s hydrogen atoms combine to form h2, the bond formed is:?

Tanya [424]

H2 is a covalent bond. Each hydrogen atom shares its single electron to the other, so each hydrogen has two valence electrons (full outer shell).

How may a substance be tested to determine whether or not it is an element

yaroslaw [1]

Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.

Predict whether each of the following molecules is polar or non-polar:a) IF,b) CS2, c) SO3, d) PCl3, e) SF6, f) IF5.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Polar: IF, PCl3, IF5

Nonpolar: CS2, SO3, SF6

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Polar molecules form when two atoms do not share electrons equally in a covalent bond.
A molecule is classified as a polar molecule when the arrangement of the atoms is such that one end of the molecule has a positive electrical charge and the other end has a negative charge.
A non-polar molecule does not have electrical poles.The electrons are distributed more equally.
Therefore, a non-polar molecule does not have a profusion of charges at the opposite ends. The majority of hydrocarbon liquids are non-polar molecules.

How does changing the temperature affect the chemical reaction?

tiny-mole [99]

The correct answer is C) Raising the temperature increases reaction rate by increasing the energy of the reacting atoms/ions/molecules and increases the number of collisions.

Can mercury turn on a light?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Mercury is useful in lighting because it contributes to the bulbs' efficient operation and life expectancy. Fluorescent and other mercury-added bulbs are generally more energy efficient and last longer than incandescent and other equivalent forms of lighting.
