Answer:

B. Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

This electronic configuration shows that the given atom is magnesium.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg¹² = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

There are two valance electrons of magnesium that's why it would react with two atoms of chlorine. Chlorine is present in seventeen group. It has seven valance electrons. It required just one electron to get complete octet. While magnesium needed to lose two electrons to get complete octet. That's why two chlorine atoms bonded with one magnesium atom. Thus both would get complete octet.

Mg + Cl₂  →   MgCl₂

How many grams of oxygen can be created when you heat 200g of sodium chlorate
bulgar [2K]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

2NaClO3 9= 2NaCl + 3O2
We are given the amount of sodium chlorate to heat. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

200 g NaClO3 (1 mol / 106.44 g) ( 3 mol O2 / 2 mol NaClO3) (32 g O2 / 1 mol O2) = 90.19 g O2
