Yeah im here and i am alos getting bored to
what are you doing and how is your day ?
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The three components of air are all <span>classified as pure substances since they are not chemically bonded so they can be separated by certain processes and be present as a pure substance. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Explanation:
Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. On the other hand, atomic number of iodine is 53 and its electronic configuration is
.
Hence, there are 7 valence electrons in an iodine atom and there are 2 valence electrons in a magnesium atom.
So, one atom of iodine requires one electron from a donor atom to complete its octet. But one magnesium atom contains two valence electrons.
Therefore, one magnesium atom will combine with two iodine atoms to result in the formation of magnesium iodide as follows.

Therefore, an ionic bond will be formed when magnesium reacts with iodine to make magnesium iodide.
