Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell.
As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.
The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.
Answer:
the only element above is potassium
The theory that states that heat is the result of the movement of particles in a system.
Answer:
There are a number of possibilities for the answer to this question, so I will address a few only:
Explanation:
1. Many ionic substances will dissolve completely in water to form an aqueous solution of cations and anions; this solution will conduct electricity.
2. The substance will have a slightly lower melting point than a mid-level covalent network solid.
3. The substance will certainly not conduct electricity as a solid.
We will use the expression for freezing point depression ∆Tf
∆Tf = i Kf m
Since we know that the freezing point of water is 0 degree Celsius, temperature change ∆Tf is
∆Tf = 0C - (-3°C) = 3°C
and the van't Hoff Factor i is approximately equal to 2 since one molecule of KCl in aqueous solution will produce one K+ ion and one Cl- ion:
KCl → K+ + Cl-
Therefore, the molality m of the solution can be calculated as
3 = 2 * 1.86 * m
m = 3 / (2 * 1.86)
m = 0.80 molal
