Explanation:

Magnesium representation : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s².

therefore, to become Mg2+ ion Magnesium losses electron from its 3s orbital to form 1s²2s²2p⁶.

therefore option C is correct.

hope this helps you.

Answer:

3s orbital

Explanation:

3s is the outermost orbital of magnesium and it loses electron from it, it doesnt even have 4f, 5p or 3d orbitals.

Solution A is yellow when alizarin yellow is added and blue when thymol
alexira [117]

Answer:

D. 6.3 x 10-5 mol/L NaOH

Explanation:

Alizarin yellow is an indicator that is yellow when pH < 10.1. In the same way, thymol blue is blue when pH > 9

That means the pH of the solution is between 9 - 10.1

Any acid as HCl could have a pH of these.

The solution of 3.2x10⁻⁴M NaOH has a pH of:

pOH = -log[OH-] = 3.49

pH = 14-pOH = 10.51. The pH of the solution is not 10.5

Now, the solution of 6.3x10⁻⁵M NaOH has a pH:

pOH = -log[OH-] = 4.2

pH = 14-pOH = 9.8

The pH of the solution could be 9.8. Right option is:

<h3>D. 6.3 x 10-5 mol/L NaOH</h3>

The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element. This element is in group 2A A
Paraphin [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.

The element present in Group 2-A and in period 4 is Calcium (Ca)

Electronic configuration of Ca atom:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

This atom will loose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration similar to Argon element (noble gas)

The electronic configration of Ca^{2+}\text{ ion}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

Hence, the symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

Complete the nuclear equation<br><br> 42 K → 0 e <br>19____-1
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

42 19 K→42 20 Ca+e−

Explanation:

Naturally-occurring potassium atoms have a weighted average atomic mass of 39.10 (as seen on most modern versions of the periodic table.) Each potassium atom contains 19 protons p+ and thus an average potassium atom contains about 39.10−19≈20 neutrons n0.

This particular isotope of potassium-42 contains 42 nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons, combined;) Like other isotopes of potassium 19 out of these nucleons are protons; the rest 42−19=23 are therefore neutrons.
