The valency of both Oxygen and magnesium is 2 give reason ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em>the <u>valency of an element</u> is its combining capacity that is the number of electrons it requires to lose, gain or share in order to become neutral.</em>

[ An element can become neutral if it completes it's octet. That is if an element has 8 electrons in it'd outermost shell then it is considered neutral ]

  • The valence of Magnesium is 2 because it requires to lose 2 electrons to become neutral.

  • whereas, the valence of Oxygen is 2 because it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.

Hence they both have the same valence.

One may say that oxygen's valence is -2 while that of Magnesium is + 2. It's meaning is still the same but "-" sign indicates that oxygen will be gaining electrons in the process of becoming stable.

What are the similarities between a chemical change and a physical change?
Reil [10]

Answer:

Physical and chemical changes are similar because they are both caused by the interaction of two or more particles.

Explanation:

Physical and chemical changes are similar because they are both caused by the interaction of two or more particles. Physical changes occur through vibrations, impacts, and other forms of movement. Chemical changes are caused by the interaction of two or more atoms or molecules.

How many grams of CuF2 are needed to make a 2.8 M solution
11111nata11111 [884]
Molarity is given as,

                              Molarity  =  Moles / Volume of Solution  ----- (1)

Also, Moles is given as,

                              Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

Substituting value of moles in eq. 1,

                              Molarity  =  Mass / M.mass × Volume

Solving for Mass,

                              Mass  =  Molarity × M.mass × Volume  ---- (2)

Data Given;

                  Molarity  =  2.8 mol.L⁻¹

                  M.mass  =  101.5 g.mol⁻¹

                  Volume  =  1 L (I have assumed it because it is not given)

Putting values in eq. 2,

                              Mass  =  2.8 mol.L⁻¹ × 101.5 g.mol⁻¹ × 1 L

                              Mass  =  284.2 g of CuF₂
