Answer:

Option B. Cation that is smaller than the original atom.

Explanation:

Magnesium is a divalent element. This implies that magnesium can give up 2 electrons to become an ion (cation) as shown below:

Mg —> Mg²⁺ + 2e¯

Next, we shall write the electronic configuration of magnesium atom (Mg) and magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). This can be written as follow:

Mg (12) = 2, 8, 2

Mg²⁺ (10) = 2, 8

From the above illustration, we can see that the magnesium atom (Mg) has 3 shells while the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has 2 shells.

This simply means that the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) i.e cation is smaller that the original magnesium atom (Mg).

Answer:

2-chloro-1-methyl-cyclohex-1,4-diene.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the addition of hydrochloric acid acts as an electrophilic atack in which the hydrogen bonded to the double-bonded carbon connected to the carbon with the methyl substitution is substituted by the chlorine from the hydrochloric acid, in such a way, 2-chloro-1-methyl-cyclohex-1,4-diene is produced as one equivalent of HCl is used therefore one substitution will be attained for chlorine, and hydrogen as a side product as shown on the attached picture.

Best regards.

6.9 moles of oxygen gas in a fixed volume of 1.33 liters. One of the valves opened and there remains only 1.24 moles oxygen gas.
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The new volume of the gas remains the same. That is new volume of gas is 1.33 litres

Explanation:

This is because gases do not have a definite shape. They therefore take the shape of their containing vessels and hence their volumes are determined by the volume of the container.

For the question above even if some of the gas escapes, as long as there is gas present in the container, its volume remains the same, that is occupies the same space in the container
