Answer: The bond formed between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond.
Explanation:
An ionic bond is formed when an atom transfer its valence electrons to another atom.
Whereas, a covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms.
Silicon and oxygen forms silicon dioxide. Silicon has 4 valence electrons which are shared with each oxygen atom. Hence, silicon and oxygen forms a covalent bond.
Oxygen and oxygen shares two pairs of electrons therefore, a covalent bond is formed between oxygen and oxygen.
A covalent bond is formed between carbon and hydrogen as carbon has 4 valence electrons which are shared with four hydrogen atoms.
Magnesium has 2 valence electrons which are transferred to the oxygen atom in order to complete its octet.
Therefore, the bond formed between magnesium and oxygen is an ionic bond.
Answer:
2 electrons from magnesium (Mg) is transferred to oxygen (O2) to form Mg2+ and O2-
which combines by strong electrostatic force to form MgO
the equation is
2Mg + O2 -> 2MgO
Answer:
The molar mass of calcium sulfate is 136.14 g/mole. Calcium has a molar mass of 40.08 g/mole. Sulfur has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mole.
Answer:
Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶
Explanation:
Calcium belong to group IIA and known as alkaline earth metals.
- it have two electrons in outer most orbital.
- these outer two electrons are involve in bonding
- calcium lose these two electron and form cation
- cation have 2+ charge
- calcium have total twenty electrons
Electronic Configuration of calcium atom: ²⁰Ca
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s²
When calcium ion is form it loses two electron and have 2+ charge on it.
and have total of 18 electrons
So,
Electronic Configuration of calcium ion: Ca²⁺
the last filled orbital will be 3p⁶
1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶
