The radio active decay of a substance or any chemical is measured in half-lives because of the period where there are significant changes in the amount of the chemicals. The amount of chemical is almost halved in the next period as is suggested by the given graph.
Answer:
12 more oxygen
Explanation:
An atom is the smallest particles that can take part in a chemical reaction
The given compounds are:
3Mg₃(PO₄)₂
Number of oxygen atoms = 3[2 x 4] = 24 oxygen atoms
For;
4Al₂O₃;
Number of oxygen atoms = 4 x 3 = 12 oxygen atoms
In 3Mg₃(PO₄)₂ , there are 24 - 12 = 12 more oxygen atoms than in 4Al₂O₃;
The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
Particles are farther apart in gases so substance X is water vapor
Explanation:
The best statement that fits the two described substances is that particles are farther apart in gases so substance X is water vapor. For a give mass of substance, gases occupies more volume.
Gases do not have specific volumes, occupy space randomly and fills whichever container they are found in.
Liquids on the other hand like solids have specific volume because their particles are very close together.
Particles of gases are random and their molecules are far apart.
