Its quite vague, instead you could say an atom is the smallest building block which further consists of subatomic particles like protons, neutrons and electrons :)

Hope thi helps :) and I'd appreciate if you'd mark brainliest because ive been stuck on the same rank for quite a long time :(

Magnesium is a metal with two elections in its outermost energy level. When it becomes an ion, what happens to its valence elect

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Mg loses its valence electrons and acquire a positive charge (Mg⁺²).

Explanation:

Valence electrons are important for an element to attach to another one, metals lose these electrons while nonmetals gain electrons to complete the octet rule.

Magnesium is a metal that loses these electrons so when it becomes an ion Magnesium will have a positive charge Mg⁺².

Suppose 'A' is a liquid aromatic compound with molecular weight 78 and burns with sooty flame. a.Give the name of the compound '

Oliga [24]

Aromatic compounds are compounds that contain carbon-carbon multiple bonds.

The question did not mention that a heteroatom is present in the compound so we can assume that there is none of such. In that case, the compound contains only hydrogen and carbon.

So,

(CH)n = 78

where n is the number of each atom present.

(12 +1)n = 78

n = 78/13

n = 6

The molecular formula of the compound is C6H6

When C6H6 is treated with .conc.HNO3/conc.H2SO4 the compound shown in image 1 is formed. The reaction occurs at the C-C multiple bond.

When C6H6 is reacted with chlorine in the presence of sunlight, hexachlorobenzene (shown in image 2 attached) is formed.

How many liters of 0.305 M K3PO4 solution are necessary to completely react with 187 mL of 0.0184 M NiCl2 according to the balan

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

6.55 mL of K₃PO₄ are required

Explanation:

We need to propose the reaction, in order to begin:

2K₃PO₄ (aq) + 3NiCl₂(aq) → Ni₃(PO₄)₂ (s) ↓ + 6KCl (aq)

Molarity = mol/L (Moles of solute that are contained in 1 L of solution.)

M = mol / volume(L). Let's find out the moles of chloride:

- We first convert the volume from mL to L → 187 mL . 1L / 1000mL = 0.187L

0.0184 M . 0.187L = 0.00344 moles of NiCl₂

Ratio is 3:2. Let's propose this rule of three:

3 moles of chloride react with 2 moles of phosphate

Then, 0.00344 moles of NiCl₂ will react with (0.00344 . 2) /3 = 0.00229 moles of K₃PO₄

M = mol / volume(L) → Volume(L) = mol/M

Volume(L) = 0.00229 mol / 0.350 M = 6.55×10⁻³L

We convert the volume from L to mL → 6.55×10⁻³L . 1000mL /1L = 6.55 mL
