Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).
Terms:
- Cation: a positively charged ion
- Anion: a negatively charge ion.
- Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
Answer:
c and d are correct
Explanation:
In A, false because in Valence Electrons, the more the valences, the more stable an atom is.
In B, false because atoms cannot readily gain or lose valence electrons as the number of valence electrons is determined by the column they are in.
In C, true because the more the valence electrons, the more the stability of an atom.
In D, true as electron placing is important and the reactivity of an atom is important.
So C and D are true!
Answer:
1s22s22p6<u>3s23p4</u>
Explanation:
Sulfur is located in the p block and has 6 valence electrons (the 2 exponent on the 3s and the 4 exponent on the 3p add up to 6)
Answer:
<u>first step </u>
NO2(g) ------------------------------------> NO(g) + O(g)
<u>second step</u>
NO2(g) + O(g) -----------------------------> NO(g) + O2(g)
Explanation:
<u>first step </u>
NO2(g) ------------------------------------> NO(g) + O(g)
<u>second step</u>
NO2(g) + O(g) -----------------------------> NO(g) + O2(g)
