Prior to writing the chemical formula of magnesium chloride, a question which any student will need to ask is: A. What are the oxidation numbers of each atom?

A chemical formula can be defined as a scientific notation that is used to show (represent) the type and total number of atoms that constitute a particular chemical molecule or compound, by using the oxidation number, chemical symbols and subscripts.

Hence, a student would need to know the oxidation numbers of each atom when magnesium chloride is formed after a chemical reaction.

In Chemistry, an oxidation number represents the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom of a chemical element during a chemical reaction.

In conclusion, when magnesium chloride is formed, a question which the student will need to ask prior to writing the chemical formula is "what are the oxidation numbers of each atom?"

To make a Br2 bond, how many total valence electrons are required?

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

2. 14

Explanation:

To form Br₂ bond, a total of 14 electrons are needed.

Bromine is an element in the 7th group on the periodic table. It has 7 valence electrons.

In forming the bromine gas, the two atoms of bromine shares 7 electrons each.
These electrons are from their outermost shell.
The outermost shell is the valence shell.
So, two atoms donating 7 electrons gives 14 electrons.

There are two beakers that contain the same liquid substance at the same temperature. The larger beaker is 1,000ml and the small

azamat

Answer:

Answer choice B

Explanation:

Since you do not know the volume of the liquid in each beaker, the one in the smaller beaker could have more substance and therefore more thermal energy. If they had the same amount of substance, then the more voluminous one would radiate faster. However, since you do not know this, there is no way to tell. PM me if you have more questions. Hope this helps!
