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

Calculate the number of grams of carbon dioxide produced from 6 moles of oxygen gas. List only the number of grams of carbon dio
faust18 [17]

Answer:

g CO2(g) = 264.06 g

Explanation:

  • C(s)  + O2(g) → CO2(g)

∴ moles O2(g) = 6 mol

∴ mm CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

⇒ mol CO2(g) = ( 6 mol O2(g) )×( mol CO2(g) / mol O2(g) ) = 6 mol CO2(g)

⇒ mass CO2(g) = ( 6 mol CO2(g) )×( 44.01 g/mol ) = 264.06 g CO2(g)

Define mass number
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

protons plus neutrons

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

while the number of protons or number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Answer:

Group 18th

Explanation:

The group 18th of periodic table which is composed of Noble gases mainly was missing from the Mendeleev's periodic table. The reason for this is that Noble gases are least reactive, therefore, it was difficult to predict such elements which do not react with other elements.
