Answer:

Oxygen receives two electrons from magnesium.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, considering the chemical reaction by which magnesium oxide is produced:

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

In that case, if we show up the oxidation states, we have:

2Mg^0+O_2\rightarrow 2Mg^{2+}O^{2-}

In such a way, since metals, like magnesium, have the capacity to lose electrons, rather than receive them, we infer why it turns out with +2 rather than -2; thus, we the correct answer is "oxygen receives two electrons from magnesium." because it results with -2 in MgO.

Best regards!

A copper wire is made of copper (Cu) atoms. Which of the following best describes the copper atoms?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An element is defined as a substance that contains atoms of same type.

As copper wire is a substance that is made up of only atoms of copper. And, all these atoms of copper will be the same. Hence, it is an element.

This means that all the atoms of copper will have same number of protons, neutrons and electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement they are all exactly the same best describes the copper atoms.

What are the 5 types of matter?
sdas [7]

The five types of states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate.

Solid objects do not move a lot relative to themselves. Their molecules stay stacked neatly with no intermolecular spaces. They do not have much energy, or heat hence the molecules in solid state don't show movement.

Liquid state have more heat and more energy and a little more intermolecular space than solid. Their molecules are no longer stacked neatly due to presence of air capsules, but they still touch each other. Their structure is uncertain and can flow, their shape will alter quickly and dramatically with outside forces, but they will essentially remain a single mass unless pushed apart.

Gasses have even more energy than liquid and solid. Due to presence of high intermolecular spaces they flow like liquids, but are even more susceptible to the forces acting on them. Their molecules don’t touch each other, but are still close enough to bounce into one another frequently.

Plasma is the state of matter which is like a gas on steroids. Molecules of plasma might start in the same area, but rarely touch each other. Plasma molecules have lost electrons, and have become charged. Plasma molecules set other things on fire, and even vaporize them.

Bose-Einstein condensate or BEC was first created by scientists in the year 1995. This was created using a combination of lasers and magnets, Eric Cornell and Carl Weiman, scientists at the Joint Institute for Lab Astrophysics (JILA) in Boulder, Colorado, cooled a sample of rubidium to within a few degrees of absolute zero.

Flura [38]

Answer:  Molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M

Explanation:

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{0.049g}{95g/mol}=5.2\times 10^{-4}moles  

V_s = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{5.2\times 10^{-4}moles\times 1000}{100ml}=5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

Therefore, the molarity of solution will be 5.2\times 10^{-3}mole/L

MgCl_2\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-

As 1 mole of MgCl_2 gives 2 moles of Cl^-

Thus 5.2\times 10^{-3}  moles of MgCl_2 gives =\frac{2}{1}\times 5.2\times 10^{-3}=0.0104

Thus the molarity of Cl^- anions in the chemist's solution is 0.0104 M
