Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Magnesium is present on group 2.

It has 2 valence electrons.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)

2nd energy level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)

3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)

3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.

It react with halogens and form salt. For example,

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂

Answer:

Correc option: $Br^- \, , Kr$

Explanation:

size of atom : it says somthing about how many shell present in a particular atom or ion and it can also be evaluated on the basis of radius of atom.

Br^- and Kr has highest number of shell as compared to other group of species .

Na ,S , Mg ,P all are from 3rd period but Kr and Br^- in the 4th period so size of species of this group will more,

Size increases on increasring the shell number

Enthalpies of reaction calculated from bond energies and from enthalpies of formation are often, but not always, close to each o

jolli1 [7]

The enthalpy change in a reaction is given by-

ΔH°rxn = ∑nΔH°f,products - ∑nΔH°f,reactants

This can be expressed in terms of bond energy as-

ΔH°rxn = BEreactants - BEproducts

Therefore, the calculated bond energy according to the above equation will be-

ΔH°rxn = [ (C-C) + 2(C-O) + 4(C-H) + 2(O-H) ] - [ (C-C) + 2(C-O) + 4(C-H) + 2(O-H) = 0 kJ/mol

<h3>What is enthalpy change?</h3>

Enthalpy change is a measure of the energy emitted or consumed in a reaction. This can be determined using the following equation which involves standard enthalpy of reactant and product formation:

ΔH°rxn = ∑nΔH°f,products - ∑nΔH°f,reactants

<h3>What is bond energy?</h3>

Bond energy is defined as the amount of energy needed to dissociate a mole of molecules into their individual atoms.

How would you know if this combination is likely to be found in dirt? Please explain!

Elan Coil [88]

No it is not likely. That is a ratio of 10:4 N^14 and N^15 which doesn’t work. It needs a higher amount
