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

Write the structure of the following compound:<br>=&gt; 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropane
Rudiy27

Answer:

The IUPAC system of nomenclature enables the structure of molecules to be written seamlessly from the name of the compound. Hence it is commonly called the systematic nomenclature.

The parent chain here is propane. It is substituted at the 2- position by a methyl group and at the 3-position by 4-chlorophenyl group as we can see in the image attached to this answer.

How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic number of 25?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Neutrons = 11

Explanation:

To get the number of neurons an element has you have to subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass of that element.

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of that element.

Atomic number = Number of Protons

So the number of protons is 25

Neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of Protons

Neutrons = 36 - 25

Neutrons = 11
