C. Sulfur and oxygen (non metals) forms a covalent bond while the magnesium (a metal) will react with both non metals to form an ionic bond
Answer: option A. 2
Explanation: in the formula Sr3(PO4)2, the 2 behind (PO4) is affecting both P and O4. It means that we have P2 in the formula
Number of moles = mass of Ni /molecular mass of Ni
mass of nickel = 86.4 g
molecular mass of nickel = 58.69
number of moles of Ni in 86.4 g
=86.4/58.69
=1.472 mol
(rounded to four significant figures instead of three because the first digit of the answer starts with a 1).
