Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

Perform the following
docker41 [41]

Answer:

8.73

Explanation:

when you are adding or subtracting numbers, the sigfig (significant figure) is based on how many numbers after the decimal. with this info, we can see that 15.67 has 2 sigfigs and 6.943 has 3 sigfigs. when you subtract normally, you would get 8.727, which has 3 sigfigs, so you would round the last 7 up to get 8.73 with 2 sigfigs!

also it is to 2 sigfigs because we know that we go by the least number of sigfigs. hope this helped!

Which of the following is the correct chemical formula for Ca and F? CaF Ca2F CaF2
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

CaF2

Explanation:

Calcium fluoride is a solid formed by the chemical combination of Calcium (Ca) and Fluorine (F). Two molecules of fluorine (F2) and one molecule of Calcium (Ca) are needed to form the Calcium Fluoride molecule.

An ionic bond is formed between the Calcium and Fluorine atoms i.e. electrons are transferred from calcium atoms to fluorine atoms. The calcium ion is a cation with formula; Ca2+ while fluorine is an anion with formula; F-. Hence, it takes two molecules of Fluorine ion (F-) to form a relatively stable and neutral molecule with 1 molecule of Calcium ion (Ca2+).

The molecule of ethane posses which hybridization..........
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Sp3

Explanation:

Hydrocarbon can be defined as an organic compound that comprises of hydrogen and carbon only. Some examples of hydrocarbon are methane, butane, ethane, ethene, etc.

Hybridization can be defined as a phenomenon which involves the combination of two or more atomic orbitals to form the same number of hybrid orbitals, with each of the orbitals having the same shape and energy.

In Organic chemistry, ethane is considered to be a tetrahedral carbon and it's Sp3 hybridized.

A tetrahedral carbon typically comprises of four bonds that are 109. 5° apart while a linear carbon atom comprises of two (2) bonds that are 180° apart.

Hence, the molecule of ethane posses a Sp3 hybridization because it has four bonds arrange with a tetrahedral geometry.
