balandron [24]3 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 sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H. Its molar mass is 78.12 g/mol. What is the compound’s molecular formula?
Inessa [10]

A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

What is meant by the octet rule? What electrons are involved? How does this affect how elements bond?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the observation that main group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas

An amphoteric salt is one that contains an anion that can act as either an acid or a base in water. Baking soda, NaHCO3, is an e
LenKa [72]

Answer:

pH = 8.34

Explanation:

The equilbriums of the amphoteric HCO₃⁻ (Ion of NaHCO₃) are:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ <em>HCO₃⁻</em> + H⁺ Ka1 <em>-Here, HCO₃⁻ is acting as a base-</em>

<em>HCO₃⁻</em>⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ Ka2 <em>-Here, is acting as an acid-</em>

Where Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷ and Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹. As pKa = -log Ka:

pKa1 = 6.37; pKa2 = 10.32

As the pH of amphoteric salts is:

pH = (pKa1 + pKa2) / 2

<h2>pH = 8.34</h2>
