A magnesium ion, Mg2+, is formed from a magnesium atom, Mg.

Chemistry
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct row is B.

Explanation:

The formation of the magnesium ion, Mg²⁺, comes from the removal of 2 electrons from the valence shell of the magnesium atom.<em> </em>Since the remotion is of electrons, the nucleus of the atom remains the same, so the number of protons and the number of neutrons does not change.<em> </em>

If the number of proton change, then the atom also change, since the identity of an atom is related to the atomic number which is the same to the proton number.          

Now, if the number of neutrons changes, then we would be in the presence of an isotope of the magnesium atom.        

Therefore, the correct row is B.  

I hope it helps you!

What is the best description of what Becquerel observed in his experiment?
myrzilka [38]

The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.

Those high-energy particles are alpha particles , beta particles , gamma radiation.

For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.

Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.

Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.

Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.

Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.

The uranium salt was emitting radiation.

Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.

For below checmical equation (which may or may not be balanced), list the number of each type of atom on each side of the equati
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Left hand side:-

Carbon - 12

HYdrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

Right hand side:-

Carbon - 12

Hydrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

Since, the number of atoms each side are equal, the reaction is balanced.

Explanation:

The given reaction is:-

2C_6H_{14}_{(l)}+19O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 12CO_2_{(g)}+14H_2O_{(g)}

Left hand side:-

Carbon - 12

HYdrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

Right hand side:-

Carbon - 12

Hydrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

<u>Since, the number of atoms each side are equal, the reaction is balanced.</u>

What determines the amount of chemical energy a substance has?
Ratling [72]


Chemical energy  is the kind of energy stored in the bonds formed by atoms and molecules in chemical compounds and elements.  This energy is  released during a chemical  reaction and  heat is often given out in the process. These kind of reactions where heat is given out as a by product are called exothermic reactions.

The major factor that determines how much chemical energy a substance has is the mass of that substance. Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance.

The higher  the mass of a substance, the more concentrated that substance is and subsequently the greater the number of atoms and molecules.

Logically, the higher the number of atoms and molecules  then the greater the number of bonds in that substance and subsequently the more the amount of chemical energy  stored therein.
