Answer:
<em>the <u>valency of an element</u> is its combining capacity that is the number of electrons it requires to lose, gain or share in order to become neutral.</em>
[ An element can become neutral if it completes it's octet. That is if an element has 8 electrons in it'd outermost shell then it is considered neutral ]
- The valence of Magnesium is 2 because it requires to lose 2 electrons to become neutral.
- whereas, the valence of Oxygen is 2 because it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.
Hence they both have the same valence.
One may say that oxygen's valence is -2 while that of Magnesium is + 2. It's meaning is still the same but "-" sign indicates that oxygen will be gaining electrons in the process of becoming stable.
Special dates and important events
I believe the answer is salt. because it is a compound of two distinct elements that can be broken down without changing the properties of substance.
A pure substance is a substance that are made up of only one type of an atom or one type of a molecule. Pure substances may be further broken down into elements and compounds.
Mud is a suspension because it is a heterogeneous mixture that has many solid particles that have sedimented in various parts of the mixture, meaning they can be easily seen or removed. A solution is homogeneous like putting sugar in water or similar.
Answer:
a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer
Explanation:
The lab apparatus that would be needed to prepare a solution of sodium chloride would be <em>a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer.</em>
The weighing balance would be used to weigh out the required amount of sodium chloride. The beaker or flask would be placed on the weighing balance and its weight zeroed. The spatula would then be sued to take out the sodium chloride from its container into the beaker till the required amount is reached. The measuring cylinder would then be used to measure out the required volume of water which would be added to the salt in the beaker. The stirrer would then be used to stir the mixture in order for the salt to dissolve.
