(C) Electron cloud
the electron cloud is formed by all the electrons in the atom
Answer:

Explanation:
1. Number of electrons

2. Number of protons

3. Identify the ion
An atom with 26 protons is iron, Fe.
A neutral atom of iron would have 26 electrons.
The ion has only 24 electrons, so it has lost two. The ion must have a charge of +2.

<span>Ionic compounds are chemical compounds in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. They have a high melting and boiling point, and they have a high hardness and are very brittle. The cations and anions are stuck together in a sense. So in this case, sodium (Na) is attracted to Chlorine (Cl).</span>
Ok so all are in the alkali family also they are all metals and in group 1 but I think the one that might reacts quickest is Li because it has less AMU
Magnesium Peroxydisulphate with formula of MgS₂O₈.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The question clearly stands on the concept of molarity and atomic weights.
The atomic weight of magnesium = 24.
The atomic weight of sulphur = 32.
The atomic weight of oxygen = 16.
The amount of magnesium present = 0.248 g
The amount of sulphur present = 0.665 g.
The amount of oxygen present = 1.31g.
So, moles of magnesium present = 0.01 moles.
Moles of sulphur present = 0.02 moles.
Moles of oxygen present = 0.08 moles.
So, mole ratio of the compound as magnesium : sulphur : oxygen = 1:2:8.
So the compound is Magnesium Peroxydisulphate with formula of MgS₂O₈.
