Explanation:
Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. To attain noble gas configuration it is necessary for the magnesium atom to lose two valence electrons and therefore, it forms 
ions.
On the other hand, atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. To attain noble gas configuration it needs to gain two electrons. And, on gaining the electrons it forms 
ions.
Hence, when both magnesium and oxygen ions chemically combine with each other then it forms the compound magnesium oxide (
).
This is because magnesium transfer its two valence electrons to the oxygen atom and due to the formation of opposite charges on these atoms they get attracted towards each other.
Excess reactant : Na
NaCl produced : = 16.497 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction(balanced)
2Na + Cl₂⇒ 2NaCl
20 g Na
10 g Cl₂
Required
Excess reactant
NaCl produced
Solution
mol Na(Ar = 23 g/mol) :
= 20 : 23 = 0.87
mol Cl₂(MW=71 g/mol):
= 10 : 71 g/mol = 0.141
mol : coefficient :
Na = 0.87 : 2 = 0.435
Cl₂ = 0.141 : 1 = 0.141
Limiting reactant : Cl₂(smaller ratio)
Excess reactant : Na
Mol NaCl based on mol Cl₂, so mol NaCl :
= 2/1 x mol Cl₂
= 2/1 x 0.141
= 0.282
Mass NaCl :
= 0.282 x 58.5 g/mol
= 16.497 g
The length of time required for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to decay is its <span>half-life. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". The other choices are incorrect and can be easily neglected.
