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 a car is traveling forward at 15 m/s, how fast will it be going in 1.2 seconds if the acceleration is
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

v = v⁰ (its original speed) + a (negative acceleration) X t² (time)

v = 15 - 10 x 1.2 = 15 - 12 = 3 (it's slowing down)

A -1.12 μC charge is placed at the center of a conducting spherical shell, and a total charge of +8.65 μC is placed on the shell
Lisa [10]

Answer: 7.53 μC

Explanation: In order to explain this problem  we have to use the gaussian law so we have:

∫E.dS=Qinside/εo we consider a gaussian surface inside the conducting spherical shell so E=0

Q inside= 0 = q+ Qinner surface=0

Q inner surface= 1.12μC so in the outer surface the charge is (8.65-1.12)μC=7.53μC
