An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.
A. An Interdependent system of plants, animals, and land
Answer:
3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy
Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2
Explanation:
The equation for the formation of magnesium phosphide from its elements is;
3Mg(s) +2P(s) -------> Mg3P2(s) + energy
Hence we can see that three moles of magnesium atoms combines with two moles of phosphorus atoms to yield one mole of magnesium phosphide. The equation written above is the balanced chemical reaction equation for the formation of the magnesium phosphide.
The equilibrium expression for the reaction K(eq) will be given by;
Keq= [Mg3P2]/[Mg]^3 [P]^2
