Hello!
To find electron configuration for Idoine we need to understand the following steps:
- Finding the Atom's Atomic Number (tells us the specific number of electrons)
- Determining the Charge of the Atom
- Understanding the orbitals (Set S [Contains 2], P [Contains 3, Holds 6], D [Contains 5, Holds 10], F [Contains 7, Holds 14], and there are some theoritical ones.) [Overall the sets go SPDFGHIK
- Understanding notations in configuartion. The notations display the number of electrons in the atom and set.
In this case, for Iodine. If we follow these rules we can see that the electron configuration is [Kr] 4d^10 5s^2 5p^5. We use Krytpon in front because that is the last full and stable noble gas before this particular element. Atoms are just trying to be stable so the goal is to achieve that full shell.
Answer: The bond formed between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond.
Explanation:
An ionic bond is formed when an atom transfer its valence electrons to another atom.
Whereas, a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms.
Silicon and oxygen forms silicon dioxide. Silicon has 4 valence electrons which are shared with each oxygen atom. Hence, silicon and oxygen forms a covalent bond.
Oxygen and oxygen shares two pairs of electrons therefore, a covalent bond is formed between oxygen and oxygen.
A covalent bond is formed between carbon and hydrogen as carbon has 4 valence electrons which are shared with four hydrogen atoms.
Magnesium has 2 valence electrons which are transferred to the oxygen atom in order to complete its octet.
Therefore, the bond formed between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond.
Ok i help you answer these question
