Answer:

The electronic configuration of the magnesium atom shows that it has two unpaired outermost shell electrons while that of oxygen shows that it has six outermost shell electrons with two of them unpaired.

By means of elecron transfer, magnesium atom donates its two electrons to the oxygen atom to now have a charge of +2 while the oxygen then has a charge of -2. This results in an ionic bonding between the two atoms.

What form of matter has a definite shape and takes up space?​
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

If something is in a solid state of matter, it has a definite shape and volume. The volume of an object is the amount of space it occupies. A block of wood placed on a table retains its shape and volume, therefore, it is an example of a solid. If a liquid is poured on that same table, there are very different results

Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent,
erica [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Extraction has to do with the separation of the components of a mixture by dissolving the mixture in a set up involving two phases. One phase is the aqueous phase (beneath) while the other is the organic phase (on top). The solvents used for the two phases must not be miscible. Water commonly is used for the aqueous phase.

Ethanol is an important solvent in chemistry but the solvent is miscible with water in all proportions. As a result of this, ethanol is a poor solvent for carrying out extraction.

Typically if oxygen has a formal negative charge, it is participating in ____ covalent bond(s). Report your answer as a whole nu
ZanzabumX [31]

Oxygen is participating in non-polar covalent bond(s)

Oxygen forms 2 covalent bond.

This is because oxygen atoms have 6 valence electrons. This means that it has 2 lone pairs and 2 unpaired electrons that are shared in order to achieve octet configuration.

In this chemistry, the 2 lone pairs on the oxygen are not shared with any other atoms. Instead; they are assigned to the oxygen atom. The formal charge on the oxygen atom is zero. Oxygen's atomic number is 8 and is equal to the sum of the number of its valence and inner shell electrons.

<h3>What is non-polar covalent bonding?</h3>

Nonpolar covalent bonding is a kind of covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are shared equally between the two atoms.
