Answer:
Solid magnesium chloride is a non-conductor of electricity because the ions aren't free to move. However, it undergoes electrolysis when the ions become free on melting. Magnesium chloride dissolves in water to give a faintly acidic solution (pH = or 6).
Answer:
We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
Explanation:
Step 1: The balanced equation
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
Step 2: Data given
Number of moles of Magnesium = 4 moles
Oxygen = in excess → this means Magnesium is the limiting reactant
Magnesium will completely be consumed ( 4 moles). There will remain 0 moles.
For 2 moles of magnesium consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of MgO.
For 4 moles of magnesium, we need 4/2 = 2 moles of oxygen.
For 4 moles of magnesium, we will produce 4/1 = 4 moles of MgO
We will expect 4 moles of MgO to be formed (option b).
Answer: A. an electron
<u>Beta particles are electrons or positrons (electrons with positive electric charge or antielectrons).</u> Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.
<u>Beta decay occurs when, in an unstable nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons transforms into the other.</u> In beta minus decay, a neutron is broken down into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino (the neutrino antiparticle, meaning it has an opposite charge to the neutrino). In beta decay plus, a prototype breaks down into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino.
Explanation:
When the covalent bonds in a molecule are polarized so that one portion of the molecule experiences a positive charge and the other portion of the molecule experiences a negative charge. This separation of opposite charges creates an electric dipole.
