Here is the electron configuration for Magnesium. How many total electrons are in the 2nd energy level?

Chemistry
1 answer:
balandron [24]2 years ago
7 0

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

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.030 moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. calculate the mass of
zzz [600]
Remember that: 
number of moles = mass/molar mass

First, we get the molar mass of the nitrogen gas molecule:
It is known the the nitrogen gas is composed of two nitrogen atoms, each with molar mass 14 gm (from the periodic table)
Therefore, molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 x 2 = 28 gm

Second we calculate the mass of the precipitate:
we have number of moles = 0.03 moles (given)
and molar mass = 28 gm (calculated)
Using the equation mentioned before,
mass = number of moles x molar mass = 0.03 x 28 = 0.84 gm

Ch4+202==>c02+302 what type of chemical reaction
n200080 [17]

Answer:

First of all, the equation is typed wrong so it can easily be misinterpreted

Ethane (CH4) + Oxygen gas (O2) would give us Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and WATER (H2O)

CH4 + 2O2 -----> CO2 + 2H2O

And this is a combustion reaction since we have oxygen as a reactant and carbon dioxide and water as products.
