Answer:

In a neutral molecule, the sum of the bonding valance electrons must be equal. So the products of the negative element and its charges and the positive element and its charge must be equal.

Explanation:

C1×N1 = C2×N2

If we have a 3 valance electrons , the 'A' charge will be either +3 or -5 for a full octet and valance electron in 'B' atoms will mostly result in acquisition of additional electrons (2) for an octet and relative charge of -2.

Balancing the two,

3 × A = -2 × B

To be equal, A = 2 and B = 3

Therefore, A²B³

lidiya [134]

The molar mass of the product is equal to 62g/mol.

<h3>Mole calculation</h3>

To calculate the molar mass of a compound it is necessary to have knowledge of the atomic mass of all the elements involved.

In the case of the question, we have the reaction between flourine and magnesium, which represents the element of group 2 with the presented electronic configuration.

Thus, we have the following reaction:

$Mg^{+2} + 2F^{-1} = MgF_2$

So, just add the molar masses, having:

$MM_Mg = 24.3g/mol\\MM_F = 19g/mol$

$24.3 + 19 + 19 = 62.3g$

So, the molar mass of the product, round to the nearest tenth, is equal to 62g/mol.

Explain what a convection current is? <br> who ever sees this I hope you have a wonderful day!

Alika [10]

Answer:

Convection currents are flowing fluid that is moving because there is a temperature or density difference within the material.

Because particles within a solid are fixed in place, convection currents are seen only in gases and liquids. A temperature difference leads to an energy transfer from an area of higher energy to one of lower energy.
