Answer:
8 electrons
Explanation:
Magnesium is present on group 2.
It has 2 valence electrons.
Electronic configuration of magnesium:
Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)
2nd energy level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)
3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)
3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.
It react with halogens and form salt. For example,
Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂
74.62 g of magnesium oxide is formed from 45.00 g magnesium so 74.62-45.00= 29.62 g of oxygen is consumed or in other words a new compound is formed in the burning of magnesium in oxygen with a heavier mass than the pure magnesium.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: SiCl₄
Explanation:
Data
amount of Si 1.71 g
amount of Cl 8.63 g
MW Si = 28 g
MW Cl = 35.5
Process (rule of three)
For Si For Cl
28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol 35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol
1.71g of Si --------------- x 8.63 g of Cl -------------- x
x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol
Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.
Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl
Finally
Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄
24 square root . i know im wrong but so what
