Magnesium in hydrochloric acid forms H2 (hydrogen) gas according to the balanced chemical equation:
Mg + 2HCl→H2 + MgCl2
Answer:
The answer to your question is Argon
Explanation:
Electron configuration given 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.
Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.
2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18
The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.
Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration
3s² 3p⁶
Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.
Sum the exponents 2 + 6 = 8
Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.
The element with these characteristics is Argon.
Answer:
NaCl will only conduct electricity in solutions
Explanation:
For electrical conduction, free mobile electrons as seen in most metals must be present or ions which are charged particles must be available for solutions and molten substances.
- Sodium chloride is an ionic compound without free mobile electrons or ions despite being ionic.
- It will maintain a subtle and unique charge stability when in solid form.
- In solid, the ions are not free to move and remain locked up in the solid mass.
- When introduced into a solution, the ions becomes free to move and this will aid electrical conduction.
