Answer:

We know based on the charges of each ion and the fact that they must always sum to 0

Explanation:

Na only has one outer electon to give so it is always +1

Mg has two outer electrons so it always gets +2

Halogens have one "missing" electron in their outer shell so they get a -1

For NaCl  (+1) + (-1) = 0

For MgI2 (+2) + 2(-1) = 0

Answer:

the difference is tyat eruptions of less gassy and more gassy is that the less gassy doesnt retain as much gas as the more gassy one and thus the eruption of the less gassy is less damage to the more gassy

There are 1.92 × 10^23 atoms Mo in the cylinder.

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>mass of the cylinder </em>

Mass = 22.0 mL × (8.20 g/1 mL) = 180.4 g

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the<em> mass of Mo </em>

Mass of Mo = 180.4 g alloy × (17.0 g Mo/100 g alloy) = 30.67 g Mo

<em>Step 3</em>. Convert <em>grams of Mo</em> to <em>moles of Mo </em>

Moles of Mo = 30.67 g Mo × (1 mol Mo/95.95 g Mo) = 0.3196 mol Mo

<em>Step 4</em>. Convert <em>moles of M</em>o to <em>atoms of Mo </em>

Atoms of Mo = 0.3196 mol Mo × (6.022 × 10^2<em>3</em> atoms Mo)/(1 mol Mo)

= 1.92 × 10^23 atoms Mo

Answer:

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Explanation:

An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).

We notice the following:

- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell

- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell

This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:

- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell

- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell

Therefore, the correct option is

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
