How many shielding atoms does magnesium have?
Magnesium has 3 electron shells.
Why is the ionization energy needed to remove the first two electrons from Magnesium atoms relatively low?
magnesium has a 2 valence electrons. because the third electron is not a valence electron, or in the outer shell, much more energy would be needed to remove it
How can magnesium give away 2 electrons to chlorine?
One, but there is a catch. One magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms to make magnesium chloride (MgCl2). The magnesium will give one electron to eachof two chlorine atoms to create this metal salt.
In many-electron atoms which quantum numbers specify the energy of an electron?
the quantum number n determines the energy of an electron in a hyrdogen atom.
What is the difference between an electron donor and electron acceptor?
Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.
What happens to the energy of a vibrating electron that does not collide with neighboring atoms?
The energy of a vibrating electron that does not collide with neighboring atoms has energy that is emitted as light. The energy will be radiated away.
How many shielding atoms does magnesium have?
Magnesium has 3 electron shells.
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
How can atoms with fewer than 8 valence electrons fill their outermost energy level Use either sulfur or magnesium to explain the process?
An atom of magnesium has two valence electron. It can have a full outer level by losing two electron. The second energy level becomes the outermost energy level with eight electrons.
Why is the ionization energy needed to remove the first two electrons from Magnesium atoms relatively low?
magnesium has a 2 valence electrons. because the third electron is not a valence electron, or in the outer shell, much more energy would be needed to remove it
What happens when a sodium atoms loses an electron in its outer energy shell?
Formation of the cation (positive ion) Na+.
How can magnesium give away 2 electrons to chlorine?
One, but there is a catch. One magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms to make magnesium chloride (MgCl2). The magnesium will give one electron to eachof two chlorine atoms to create this metal salt.
Is the octet state achieved in magnesium chloride?
Yes, in magnesium chloride, both the magnesium atom and the two chlorine atoms have complete outer electron shells of eight electrons.
In many-electron atoms which quantum numbers specify the energy of an electron?
the quantum number n determines the energy of an electron in a hyrdogen atom.
What is the difference between an electron donor and electron acceptor?
Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.
What happens to energy when a chemical bond forms and what happens to energy when a chemical bond is broken?
During formation of bond,the atoms come close,then their are two possibilities 1. The force of attraction between electron of one atom and the nucleus of the other atom and the electron of the other atom attracts the nucleus of the another atom.This attractive forces lowers the potential energy of the two atoms and their are chances of bond formation. 2.There are also repulsive forces between nucleus-nucleus and electron-electron,which increases the potential energy. But as the attractive forces are dominant over the repulsive forces,therefore atoms come close and lower the energy of atoms forming bond.... During the formation of bond the potential energy of the atoms decreased.
What is an electron in an atoms outer most energy level?
The electrons on the outtermost energy level of an atom is called a valence electron.
