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.

If there are two photons with different energies, the one that has a higher energy (a) has the higher frequency (b) has the high
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(a) has the highest frequency

Explanation:

E = hf...where E(is the energy of a photon);h(is the planck's constant) and f is the frequency of the photon

Whereby this formula shows us that energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency

So hence if the energy is high then the frequency of the photon is also high

The ability of water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and water's ability to dissolve substances that
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The ability of water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and water's ability to dissolve substances that have charges or partial charges are <u>due to water's partial charges.</u>

Explanation:

The partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on hydrogen enables them to make hydrogen bond and also makes it to dissolve the the other substances having partial charges.

What is capacitance?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A, the amount of charge stored per volt

Explanation:

Capacitance is defined below:

C = Q/V

Therefore capacitance is charge per volt which gets the unit farad.

Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?
Lynna [10]

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

A ball with a momentum of 16 kg.M/s strikes a ball at rest. What is the total momentum of both the balls after the collision.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.

Momentum A = 16 kgm/s

Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).

Total momentum = A + B

Total momentum = 16 + 0

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity
