Because Na has one too many electron to be stable, while Mg has 2. once they loose those electrons, they will be come ion. loosing one electron will give the ion a 1+ charge, and loosing 2 will create a 2+ charge
Distilled water is water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed back into liquid in a separate container. Impurities in the original water that do not boil below or at the boiling point of water remain in the original container. Thus, distilled water is one type of purified water.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
According to Aufbau's principle "sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies".
Sublevels do not fill up in numerical order but there is a certain manner in which they are filled. The pattern is shown below:
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p e.t.c
We see that the 4s gets filled before the 3d sublevel.
Answer:
C. A Roman numeral placed after the transition metal identifies its
oxidation state.
Explanation:
A. A superscript on the transition metal identifies its oxidation state
in the formula.
This is wrong! Superscript are usually not written in formula of compound and for those that have superscripts, it refers to the oxidation number of the compound as a whole.
B. The subscript of the transition metal in the formula identifies its
oxidation state.
This is wrong! Subscripts shows how many atoms of the element is present.
C. A Roman numeral placed after the transition metal identifies its
oxidation state.
This is correct! Examples include; manganese (II) oxide, Potassium manganate (VII) etc
D. The total charge of the negative ion identifies the oxidation state
of the transition metal.
This is wrong! Because there are cases of other metals or cations being present in the compound aside the transition metal
