Answer:

Formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO

Explanation:

Ca, Mg and Sr are same group bivalent metals.

Oxygen is a bivalent element

In general, formula of a compound made of a cation $M^{x+}$ and an anion $A^{y-}$ is $M_{y}A_{x}$ for $x\neq y$

When x = y, formula of the compound becomes MA

As both these metals and oxygen are bivalent therefore formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO.

What substance has a melting point of 0 and a boiling point of 100

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Water molecules are known to have a melting point of 0°C and a boiling point of 100°C.

The melting and boiling points are as a result of the intermolecular force of attraction between the molecules of water. The predominant bond type that dictates the property of the melting and boiling point is the hydrogen bonding. This bond is a strong force of attraction and it impacts on the physical properties of water.
