6 0

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

Try to make only one molecule of water in the simulation. Is it possible?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

A single molecule of water has been isolated for the first time by trapping it in a fullerene cage. Water molecules are never found alone — they are always hydrogen-bonded to other molecules of water or polar compounds.

While making small volumes of pure water in a lab is possible, it's not practical to “make” large volumes of water by mixing hydrogen and oxygen together. The reaction is expensive, releases lots of energy, and can cause really massive explosions.

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. The difference between atoms is expressed by atomic numbers.

Indique el valor de los números n,l,m y s para el último electrón de ₇N.(1 pt c/u) n = _____ l = _____ m = _____ s =_____
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

n = 2

l = 1

m = 1

s = +1/2

Explanation:

₇N tiene la configuración electrónica;

1s2 2s2 2p3

Esto implica que este último electrón tiene los siguientes números cuánticos;

n = 2

l = 1

m = 1

s = +1/2

Este último electrón estará en un orbital de 2pz como lo muestran los números cuánticos enumerados anteriormente.
