D. They all have the same number of valence electrons.
Lewis Structure is drawn in following steps,
1) Calculate Number of Valence Electrons: # of Valence electrons in Mg = 2
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
---------
Total Valence electrons = 16
2) Draw Mg as a central atom surround it by two atoms of Iodine.3) Connect each Iodine atom to Mg, and subtract two electrons per bond. In this case we will subtract 4 electrons from total valence electrons. i.e.
Total Valence electrons 16
- Four electrons - 4
----------
12
4) Now start adding the remaining 12 electrons on more electronegative atoms i.e. Iodine.
The final lewis structure formed is as follow,
Answer:
1.209g of MgO participates
Explanation:
In this problem, we have 0.030 moles of MgO that participates in a particular reaction.
And we are asked to solve for the mass of MgO that participates, that means, we need to convert moles to grams.
To convert moles to grams we need to use molar mass of the compound:
<em>1 atom of Mg has a molar mass of 24.3g/mol</em>
<em>1 atom of O has a molar mass of 16g/mol</em>
<em />
That means molar mass of MgO is 24.3g/mol + 16g/mol = 40.3g/mol
And mass of 0.030 moles of MgO is:
0.030 moles MgO * (40.3g/mol) =
<h3>1.209g of MgO participates</h3>
The answer to this question I think would be 2: Better
