Answer:
32.92 moles of Mg
Explanation:
To convert grams to moles (Or vice versa) of any chemical compound we need to use the molar mass of the substance (That is, how many grams weighs 1 mole of the chemical).
The magnesium, Mg, has a molar mass of 24.305g/mol. That means in 800.0g of Mg you have:
800.0g * (1mol / 24.305g) =
<h3>32.92 moles of Mg</h3>
Answer: 8 electrons
Explanation: Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom and they are important in chemical reactions.
Atoms are <em>happy</em> when they follow the octet rule which states that 2 electrons can go in the first shell and 8 electrons can go in the other shells.
Electrons are happy when they have a full outer shell which usually needs to be 8 electrons. However, some of the smaller elements like helium are happy because they can hold a max of 2 electrons and helium has 2 electrons since it has 2 protons in its core as well as 2 electrons in its energy levels.
