Explanation:
Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.
When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.
But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.
Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.
The ion composition of Magnesium is 12,10, 2+.
Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and an atomic number 12, it has 12 protons, and 12 electrons with a chemical configuration of 2:8:2. It requires to loose two electrons to form a stable configuration forming a cation (positively charged ion) with a charge of +2 and a configuration of 2:8 ( 12 protons and 10 electrons).
The balanced chemical reaction is:
<span>N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3 </span>
We are given the amount of H2 being reacted. This will be our starting point.
26.3 g H2 (1 mol H2 / 2.02 g H2) 2 mol
O2/3 mol H2) ( 17.04 g NH3 / 1mol NH3) = 147.90 g O2
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical
yield x 100
Percent yield = 79.0 g / 147.90 g x 100
Percent yield = 53.4%
