The answer they are looking for is the last one. However the last two are technically correct but the third one would result in negative work.
Answer:
Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.
Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).
Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Answer:
2.64N
Explanation:
Force = mass * acceleration
Given
mass = 4kg
distance = 1.9m
Time t = 2.4s
Get the acceleration using the equation of motion
S = ut + 1/2at²
1.9 = 0 + 1/2a(2.4)²
1.9 = 5.76a/2
1.9 = 2.88a
a = 1.9/2.88
a = 0.66m/s²
Get the magnitude of the force
Force = 4 * 0.66
Force = 2.64N
Hence the net force acting on the fish is 2.64N
