Answer:

Magnesium and Chlorine have a great difference in there electronegativies. Due to this, they will form an ionic bond. Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and chlorine has 7. Therefore, two magnesium atoms will give one electron to one chorine atom, making the chlorine atom stable.

How do electrons of an element determine that element's reactivity?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. Noble gases have low reactivity because they have full electron shells. Halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell.

In an experiment, two unknown compounds (one an alcohol and the other an ether) of equal molecular mass were dissolved in water.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer: B. It is an ether because it is unable to to form a hydrogen bond, so it is less soluble than water

Explanation: Alcohols (ROH) are more soluble in water as they can form hydrogen bonding with water whereas ethers (ROR) are less soluble as they do not form hydrogen bonds with water.

For formation of hydrogen bond, the electronegative atom (F, Oand N) must be attached to hydrogen and in ethers (ROR), there is no hydrogen directly attached to electronegative oxygen atom, thus are less soluble in water.

Electronegativity values increase from left to right across a period in the periodic table because there is an increase in the c
Mademuasel [1]
First, let us define Electronegativity. Electronegativity is "the ability of an atom to attract electrons." In addition, electronegativity increases in elements from left to right, while on the other hand, electronegativity decreases from top to bottom in an element group. It decreases because the atomic radius increases as we go downward an element in the group.
