Answer: The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) is 3.

Explanation:

To know the coefficient for the diatomic Oxygen, we need to balance the equation.

Fe + O2 -------> Fe2O3

LHS of the equation; Fe = 1 , O2 = 1

RHS of the equation; Fe = 2 , O = 3

∴ Multiply 'Fe' on the LHS of the equation by 4 and O2 by 3

Doing that will give the balance equation which is;

4 Fe + 3 O2 --------> 2 Fe2O3

The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) as seen from the equation is 3.

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A:

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation:

Monatomic ions:

These ions consist of only one atom. If they have more than one atom then they are poly atomic ions.

Examples of Mono Atomic ions: $Na^+, Cl^-, Ca^2^+$

Part A:

For P:

Phosphorous (P) has 15 electrons so it require 3 more electrons to stabilize itself.

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

For Mg:

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons so it requires 2 electrons to lose to achieve stable configuration.

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

For Se:

Selenium (Se) has 34 electrons and requires two electrons to be stable.

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$
