Why is it easier to remove an electron from a sodium atom than a magnesium atom

Chemistry

It doesn't take much energy to remove one electron from a sodium atom to form an Na+ ion with a filled-shell electron configuration. The first ionization energy of magnesium is larger than sodium because magnesium has one more proton in its nucleus to hold on to the electrons in the 3s orbital.

Three beakers contain clear, colorless liquids. one beaker contains pure water, another contains salt water, and another contain
tiny-mole [99]
First, we'll identify the beaker containing pure water as follows:
We'll take equal masses from each of the three beakers and measure the mass of each.
We'll then identify the density of each by using the rule : density =mass/volume
Pure water will be the liquid having density equal to 1 gm/cm^3

Then, we'll differentiate between the salt and sugar solution by measuring the conductivity of each solution. Salt solution is a good conductor while solution of sugar is a bad conductor.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of the trace metal magnesium is 410 mg/daymg/day for males. Express this quantity in μg/da
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

410mg/day *\frac{1000 ug}{1 mg}

Recommended daily Amount (RDA) of magnesium is  410,000 μg/day.

Explanation:

There are 1000μg in 1 mg and 1000 mg in 1g

1 mg=1000μg

The Recommended daily Amount (RDA) is 410 mg/day of magnesium. Converting 410 mg/day into μg/day

410mg/day *\frac{1000 ug}{1 mg}

It will become 410,000 μg/day

So Recommended daily Amount (RDA) of magnesium is  410,000 μg/day.
