Answer : The correct option is, (+2)

Explanation :

The given electronic configuration is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

In the given electronic configuration of an atom, '3s' shell is the outermost shell in which two electrons are present. For the stable configuration, these two electrons will remove easily from the outer shell and atom will carry (+2).

Total number of electrons in the given configuration= 12 electrons

And magnesium is the element which have 12 electrons. Due to the stable electronic configuration, magnesium atom changes their electronic configuration by losing two electrons and Mg atom changes to Mg^{2+} ion.

Hence, the most likely charge of an ion formed from an atom with the given electron configuration would be, (+2)

Match the chemical Equation with his correct type
Alex

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below

Explanation:

1. C. 2NaCl + I2 —> 2NaI + Cl2 => C. Single displacement.

From the above equation, we can see that I2 replaces Cl in NaCl to produce NaI. This is simply called a single displacement reaction.

2. E. 2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H2O => E. Combustion.

The above equation shows the burning of Hydrocarbon in the presence of O2. This is simply called Combustion as CO2 and H2O is produced.

3. D 2H2O —> 2H2 + O2 => D. Decomposition.

From the above equation, we can see that a single compound H2O produces two elements H2 and O2. This is simply called a decomposition reaction.

4. A. ZnS + 2HCl —> ZnCl2 + H2S => A. Double Decomposition.

From the above equation, we can see that Cl replaces S in ZnS to produce ZnCl2 and S replaces Cl in HCl to produce H2S. This is simply called double displacement reaction.

5. B. H2 + Br2 —> 2HBr => B. Synthesis.

From the above equation, we can see that two element H2 and Br2 combine to produce a single compound HBr. This is simply called a synthesis reaction.

A geologist finds ripples preserved in ancient sedimentary rock that look just like ripples made by water in mud. He concludes t
MArishka [77]

Answer:

D.  because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today

Explanation:

One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.

Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".

The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.

Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.
