The are noble gases. They are all odorless, colorless, and are used to make neon lights.
Answer:
Josue
Explanation:
J.J Thompson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom. In his proposition, the atom is a sphere of positive charges into which negative charges were embedded. This model of the atom did not significantly contribute to our present day understanding of atomic structure.
On the other hand Ernest Rutherford laid out the foundation for a more accurate understanding of atomic structure in his nuclear model of the atom. According to Rutherford, the atom consists of a positively charged massive core called the nucleus around which electron move in orbits. His idea was akin to the solar system with the sun at it's core and planets moving around the sun in orbits.
This his idea of the nuclear theory was held as fundamentally correct by Neils Bohr's model of the atom. Hence, his nuclear theory of the atom was a significant milestone in our present day understanding of atomic structure.
Please note that since magnesium is in group 2 it has a valency of 2+ and so the formula for magnesium hydroxide is

, and may be balanced by adding balancing numbers in front, ie adding molecules, in order to ensure that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation.
Doing so we obtain :

They usually form covalent bonds! When two non-metals bond they are covalent an example is a diamond formed by double carbon atoms!
