4 0

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.

The average 8- to 18-year-old spends __________ per day on average in front of a screen doing very little to no physical activit
natta225 [31]

Answer:

D. 3 hours or more

Explanation:

The average 8- to 18-year-old spends at least D. 3 hours every day in front of a screen, performing little to no physical activity. This is because, instead of exercising and socializing with their peers, children and teenagers frequently talk, watch a lot of movies/shows, or play video games on their computers. Unfortunately, this is typically considerably more than three hours every day. Although some children still prefer physical activities over this, the bulk of the population does not.

The density of gold is 19.3 g cm³. What is the mass of a bar of gold in Kg that measures 6 cm x 4 cmx to 2 cm ?
klemol [59]

Answer: 0.9264 kg

Explanation: [I'll use "cc" for cubic centimeter, instead of cm^3.

The volume is 6cm*4cm*2cm = 48 cm^3 (cc).

Density of Au is 19.3 g/cc

Mass of gold = (48 cc)*(9.3 g/cc) = 926.4 grams Au

1 kg = 1,000 g

(926.4 grams Au)*(1 kg/1,000 g) = 0.9264 kg, 0.93 kg to 2 sig figs

At gold's current price of $57,500/kg, this bar is worth $53,268. Keep it hidden from your lab partner (and instructor).
