1.what did magnesium and oxygen atoms had to do to bond ?

Biology
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Magnesium and oxygen atoms bond to form an ionic compound; this is evident because one forms a cation and the other an anion. When an ionic compound is formed, one atom "steals" an electron (or electrons) from another. In this case, an oxygen atom (which is pretty electronegative by the way) "steals" 2 electrons from a magnesium atom. The resulting oxygen anion and magnesium cation attract one another to form a bond (more specifically, an ionic one).

2. The oxygen atom needed two sodium atoms to bond because it needs two additional electrons to achieve a stable octet of electrons. 1 sodium atom provides 1 additional electron after it is "stolen" by oxygen, so 2 sodium atoms are needed in total to form the bond.

3. The magnesium atom needed two fluorine atoms to bond because it needs to lose two electrons to achieve a stable configuration/octet of electrons. 1 fluorine atom "steals" one electron, so 2 are needed in total.

Happy Holidays!

The effects of sympathetic stimulation are longer lasting and more widespread than the effects of parasympathetic stimulation be
svlad2 [7]

An effects of sympathetic stimulation are longer lasting and more widespread than the effects of anxiety (low vs. high) and stress (low vs. moderate vs. high) on test.

Everyone experiences sympathetic occasionally, but persistent anxiety can reduce your quality of life. Though likely best known for altering behavior, worry can have negative effects on our physical health. Anxiety speeds up our heartbeat and sympathetic, concentrating blood flow to the parts of our brains that need it. You are getting ready for a challenging situation by having this extremely bodily reaction. Test performance may be impacted by anxiety. According to studies, pupils with low levels of test anxiety perform better on multiple-choice question (MCQ) exams than pupils with high levels of anxiety. Studies have indicated that female students have greater levels of test anxiety than male students.

Carbon dioxide because people in other animals exhale carbon dioxide as a waste product. People and other animals need oxygen for plants produce oxygen during an important process called photosynthesis which turns the sun energy into nutrients so carbon dioxide would be the answer.
