Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

How does the sun's energy most directly influence precipitation in an area?
topjm [15]
The sun's energy influences climate in various ways. For example the latitudes at the equator receive more energy from the sun and therefore have warmer temperatures, On the other hand the sun's energy influences precipitation in a climate by driving the water cycle which determines precipitation.The sun is what makes the water cycle take place. That is the sun provides energy or heat to the earth; the heat causes liquid and frozen water to evaporate into water vapor gas, which rises high in the sky to form clouds ( precipitation), that in turn give us rain

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh
DiKsa [7]

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force =\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )

=360 N

cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}

sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}

(b)Moment about Ground Point

740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta

N_1tan\theta =1140

N_1=171 N

N_1=f=171 N

(c)

740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore N_1=360 N

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5

740x=2000

x=2.702m
