Generally, electron affinity increases (becomes less negative) in groups/families moving from top to bottom.

What has the highest and lowest electron affinity Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar?
Chlorine and Argon respectively.
A Mg atom differs from a Mg2 plus ion in that the Mg atom has?
The Mg atom has more electron than the Mg+2 ion.
Is magnesium's ionization energy higher or lower than chlorine?
ionization energies of mg is less than chlorine because chlorine requires only one electron to complete its octet so it will not prefer to loose its electron morover its electronegativity is also higher and it is of smaller size than mg so electtron removal is difficult
Why ionization energy of Na is less than Mg?
mg occupies s orbital whereas al occupies p orbital. distance between p orbital and nucleus is more than that of s orbital due to which atomic radius of al is more than that of mg..........................................................................contd..........................................by BIPIN SHARMA.
What is the electron dot structure for magnesium iodide?
Magnesium Nitride is Mg3N2. What I think you do is draw it Mg N Mg N Mg and then draw 8 electrons around each Nitrogen so that Mg shares its 2 electrons with Nitrogen and Nitrogen's Pz electron is bumped down into the Px.
What is the equation for the electron affinity of Mg plus?
If you express your answer as a chemical equation with all forms given, you would get: Mg+(g) + e- -> Mg (g)
Which element has a negative electron affinity. Is it Kr. O. Ca. He or Mg?
O because it is a 2-
What has the highest and lowest electron affinity Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar?
Chlorine and Argon respectively.
Which is the least reactive Mg Li or Be?
Be is least reactive its outermost orbital 2s is completely filled so its electron affinity is almost zero.
A Mg atom differs from a Mg2 plus ion in that the Mg atom has?
The Mg atom has more electron than the Mg+2 ion.

Is 0.5 mg a lower dosage than 1 mg?
Yes.

What is the electron for Mg?
If you think to the electron configuration of magnesium this is: [Ne]3s2.
Why Mg is harder than Na?
Mg. Mg has 2 valence electrons while Na only has 1 valence electron. Mg+2 also has a smaller ionic radius than Na+. Metallic bonds are stronger when metals have more valence electrons and smaller ion size. The metallic bond will be stronger for Mg. Thus, Mg will have the higher melting point.

What subatomic particles are closest in mass proton and neutron neutron and electron proton and electron electron and ion?
Mg+2 and Br-1
