Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).
Terms:
- Cation: a positively charged ion
- Anion: a negatively charge ion.
- Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
<span>Starch and
cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both
polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose,
which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose
with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with
the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while
cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas
the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body
eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no
enzyme that can break it down. </span>
Option E, 2, 7, 4, 6. The type of reaction is combustion reaction, as oxygen is being reacted with C2H6 to form new compounds.
Let me know if you need any further explanation :))
