Hey there!

Magnesium has 12 electrons.

Magnesium is in group 3, so it already has 1s, 2s, and 2p filled.

It is the second element in group 3, so 3p is the next orbital that is filled.

The superscripts are the number of electrons in the orbitals.

1s²2s²2p⁶2s²

Also, to check, add the number of electrons:

2 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 12 electrons

Hope this helps!

Compared to the normal freezing point and boiling point of water, a 1-molar solution of sugar in water will have a
marysya [2.9K]

Answer :

  • Boiling point of the sugar solution will be higher than that of water's boling point.
  • Freezing point of the sugar solution will be lower than that of water's freezing point.

Explanation:

  • Boiling point of a liquid is defined as temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Boiling point of solution is always higher than that of the pure solvent

Vapor pressure increases with increase in temperature which means sugar solution will be heated more to make vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure.

  • Freezing point is defined as temperature at which solid and liquid phase are at equilibrium or temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid becomes equal to the vapor pressure in its solid phase.

Freezing point of solution is always lower than that of the pure solvent.

Lower the temperature, lower will be the vapor pressure which sugar solution solution will get freeze at lower temperature than that of the water.

Which option describes a similarity and a difference between isotopes of an element?
stira [4]
<span>The question says.'which option describes a similarity between isotopes of an element. The correct option is C. Isotopes have the same number of atomic number but different mass number. The mass number is the summation of proton and neutron. The number of proton is always constant but that of neutron changes to reflect the existence of isotopes.</span>
