Art [367]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.

_____ bonds are formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Give two examples:
34kurt

<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

An  electronegativity of an atom is affected by

  • The atomic number of the atom
  • Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus

1. In case the  electronegativity difference (which is denoted by  ΔEN) is less than 0.5  then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent. </u>

2. In case  the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent </u>

3. In case  the ΔEN is more /greater  than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>

<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>

  • The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
  • Another example is the formation of NaCl from  sodium (Na),which is  a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a  nonmetal

Other than through sexual reproduction, how can variations in genetic material occur in a population?
melomori [17]

Answer:

Through their adaptations from their habitat; environment

Explanation:

Charles Darwin explains evolution and their genetic material evolves during the process. For example, fruit birds have narrow bills whilst seed-eating birds have big bills. The foods they eat forced their DNA to adapt with the system in order to survive.
