fgiga [73]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

To be stable an atom will gain, lose, or share electrons to complete the outer most energy level (electron shell). Octet Rule because levels 2 and 3 need 8 electrons to be stable.

vagabundo [1.1K]
A covalent bond means shared electrons between atoms. This is similar to kids sharing markers because the markers (electrons) are being shared between the kids (atoms). Covalent bonds are different than this metaphor because 1) the electrons are constantly moving about while the kids can steal and keep the markers and 2) the electrons and atoms are physically smaller

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?

Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)

first, balance the equation

2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO

two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule

there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms

but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms

the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.
