Explanation:
Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.
As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not 
.
The student write the equation as 
, it is not correct.
Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.
Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.
Answer:
1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵
Explanation:
1) Ca:
Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.
So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.
Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.
Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².
2) Pm
The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.
Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.
The atomic number of Xe is 54.
Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.
The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.

Answer:
Explanation:The pi-molecular orbitals in propene (CH3-CH=CH2) are essentially the ... This central carbon thus provides two p-orbitals – one for each pi bond – and these two different p-orbitals have to be perpendicular, leading to a twisted structure as shown: ... It all comes down to where the location of the electron-deficient carbon
corrected question: A chemist adds 135mL of a 0.21M zinc nitrate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of zinc nitrate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to significant digits.
Answer:
5.37g
Explanation:
0.21M means ; 0.21mol/dm³
1dm³=1L , so we can say 0.21mol/L
if 0.21mol of Zinc nitrate is contained in 1L of water
x will be contained in 135mL of water
x= 0.21*135*10³/1
=0.02835moles
number of moles= mass/ molar mass
mass= number of moles *molar mas
molar mass of Zn(NO₃)₂=189.36 g/mol
mass= 0.02835 *189.36
mass=5.37g
