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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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

What is the value of freezing point depression of a solution of 15.0g of NaCl in 250g of water?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

-3.82ºC is the freezing point of solution

Explanation:

We work with the Freezing point depression to solve the problem

ΔT = m . Kf . i

ΔT = Freezing point of pure solvent - freezing point of solution

Let's find out m, molality (moles of solute in 1kg of solvent)

15 g / 58.45 g/mol = 0.257 moles of NaCl

NaCl(s) → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

i = 2 (Van't Hoff factor, numbers of ions dissolved)

m = mol /kg → 0.257 mol / 0.250kg = 1.03 m

Kf = Cryoscopic constant → 1.86 ºC/m (pure, for water)

0ºC - Tºf = 1.03m . 1.86ºC/m . 2

Tºf  = -3.82ºC

How do geologists know that there once was a vast sea where the Grand Canyon is today?
Vanyuwa [196]
Through the erosion and indentations. Formation down cutting it leaves forms of a river or ocean carved. Using range you can see how the floor of the canyon were an ocean floor. Erosion is caused by water the Grand Canyon sits on a body of water unlike most canyons this one happened to erode and sediment the body where the water once was. A layer of rock is also apparent which you wouldn’t be able to see unless erosion happened and etc.

The relative strengths of covalent bonds and van der Waals interactions remain the same when tested in a vacuum or in water. How
trasher [3.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

The explanation given in the problem is correct but not totally encompassing.

Van der waals interactions are a type of hydrophobic interaction, in which they do not interact with the polar water molecule. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms of relatively similar electronegativities, and are most often too strong to disrupt by polar molecules of water. Therefore, covalent bonds and van der waals forces have an Intrinsic bond strength value that is independent of the environment.

However, either the partial negative oxygen atom or the partial positive hydrogen atoms in water molecules disrupt hydrogen or ionic bonds. Water is known to form hydrogen bonds with other polar or charged molecules, thus reducing the strength of interaction these molecules would normally have in the absence of water. Basically, these compounds with Hydrogen or Ionic bonds ionize, whether partially or fully in water, thereby leading to a decrease in bond strength in water.
