When magnesium loses it's valence electrons, it has the atomic structure of what element?

Chemistry

Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago
4 0

As far as I can tell the best answer for this would be (A) Neon. However, I would argue that this is at the very least a misleading question. Atoms are less identified by their electrons than their protons (which is represented always by its atomic number).  Although atoms can gain or lose electrons, the protons would never change (and remain the same element). Personally, I would have written the question as, "When Magnesium loses its valence electrons, its new number of electrons would most closely resemble _____"

List the spectator ions in the following reaction.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Spectator ions:

Spectator ions are those ions which are same on both side of chemical reaction. These ions are same in the reactant side and product side. Their presence can not effect the chemical equilibrium that's why when we write the net ionic equation these ions are neglect or omitted.

Given ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s) + + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)

In given ionic equation by omitting the spectator ions i.e, 2Na⁺ (aq) and 2OH⁻(aq)  net ionic equation can be written as,

Net ionic equation:

Ba⁺²(aq) + CO²⁻₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s)

Chemistry Question, Don't really know how to do it lol.
Scilla [17]

Answer: 17.2 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

\text{Moles of} HgS=\frac{20.0 g}{233g/mol}=0.085moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

4HgS(s)+4CaO(s)\rightarrow 4Hg(l)+3CaS(s))+CaSO_4(s)  

According to stoichiometry :  

4 moles of HgS produce =  4 moles of Hg

Thus 0.085 moles of HgS will require=\frac{4}{4}\times 0.085=0.085moles  of Hg

Mass of Hg=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.085moles\times 200.6g/mol=17.2g

Thus 17.2 g of Hg will be produced form 20.0 g of HgS.

How does the use of synthetic products impact the natural resource from which they are derived?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The series of chemical reactions that are used to change natural resources into synthetic products is called chemical synthesis. To make a "natural" product, the natural resource is not chemically changed as much. ... For example, the synthetic material plastic is made from petroleum, which is pumped out of the earth.

The element oxygen has _____ valence electrons. (Input only a whole number, such as 7.) Numerical Answers Expected! Answer for B
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

7 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Oxygen lies in period 2 and group 16 of the periodic table. It is eighth element on the periodic table. Its symbol is O.

Its electronic configuration is given by:

16 = 2,8,6

It has 6 valance electrons. Its valancy is -2. It means can share share and it can gain 2 electron to get stability.

Hence, The element oxygen has <u>7</u> valence electrons.
