True The positive electric charge of a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge of an electron; therefore, the net electric charge of an ion is equal to its number of protons minus its number of electrons. Ions are highly reactive species.

What causes “gaps in the rock record” and how is that described?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

An unconformity is a widespread surface separating rocks above and below, which represents a gap in the rock record. Unconformities occur when either erosion wears away rocks, or rock deposits never form. Therefore, a time gap exists between when the rocks below the unconformity formed and when those above it formed.

N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, $H_2$ ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.

PI3Cl2 is a nonpolar molecule. Based on this information, determine the I−P−I bond angle, the Cl−P−Cl bond angle, and the I−P−Cl

alexdok [17]

Answer: Yes I-P-Cl = 90

Explanation:

This is because the angle formed between I-P-Cl is perpendicular hence the angle is 90°

If element A has an ionic charge of +2 and element B has an ionic charge of -3, what will be the formula for the compound create

Softa [21]

A3B2 because the oxidation numbers are the same as ionic charge just switch symbol and number. Then use the cross cross method and you get A3B2.
