Why is the ionic compound magnesium chloride neutral

Physics
1 answer:
shutvik [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The charges on cation and anion balances each other.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Mg:12:1s^22s^22p^63s^2

Mg^{2+}:10:1s^22s^22p^6

Cl:17:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Cl^{-}:18:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

Thus Mg^{2+} combines with two Cl^- ions to give neutral MgCl_2

How large a band of frequencies does each television broadcasting channel get ?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Since the waves must carry a great deal of visual as well as audio information, each channel requires a larger range of frequencies than simple radio transmission. TV channels utilize frequencies in the range of 54 to 88 MHz and 174 to 222 MHz. (The entire FM radio band lies between channels 88 MHz and 174 MHz.)

A head-on, elastic collision between two particles with equal initial speed v leaves the more massive particle (mass m1) at rest
ZanzabumX [31]
<span>1/3 The key thing to remember about an elastic collision is that it preserves both momentum and kinetic energy. For this problem I will assume the more massive particle has a mass of 1 and that the initial velocities are 1 and -1. The ratio of the masses will be represented by the less massive particle and will have the value "r" The equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2MV^2. So the energy for the system prior to collision is 0.5r(-1)^2 + 0.5(1)^2 = 0.5r + 0.5 The energy after the collision is 0.5rv^2 Setting the two equations equal to each other 0.5r + 0.5 = 0.5rv^2 r + 1 = rv^2 (r + 1)/r = v^2 sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v The momentum prior to collision is -1r + 1 Momentum after collision is rv Setting the equations equal to each other rv = -1r + 1 rv +1r = 1 r(v+1) = 1 Now we have 2 equations with 2 unknowns. sqrt((r + 1)/r) = v r(v+1) = 1 Substitute the value v in the 2nd equation with sqrt((r+1)/r) and solve for r. r(sqrt((r + 1)/r)+1) = 1 r*sqrt((r + 1)/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) + r = 1 r*sqrt(1+1/r) = 1 - r r^2*(1+1/r) = 1 - 2r + r^2 r^2 + r = 1 - 2r + r^2 r = 1 - 2r 3r = 1 r = 1/3 So the less massive particle is 1/3 the mass of the more massive particle.</span>

How many atoms are there in 3.4moles if helium ,show the calculation
prohojiy [21]
Answer: 20.4752789138x x  10^23 atoms
To count how many atoms in moles you need to know Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number dictate that for every mole there is 6.022140857 × 10^23 molecule/atoms.
Then 3.4 moles of helium will be 3.4x 6.022140857 x  10^23 atoms= 20.4752789138x x  10^23 atoms
