When two atoms of this element move towards each other, they will combine in a covalent bond to form a diatomic molecule.

Looking at the electron configuration of the atoms; 1s2 2s2 2p4, we can see that these are atoms of elements in group 16. The elements in group 16 has a general outer electronic configuration of ns2np4. They have a valency of 2.

When two atoms of this element approach each other, they will combine in a covalent bond to form a compound. If this element is depicted as X, the compound formed is X2.

NNADVOKAT [17]
The trends and exceptions to the trends in ionization energy observed includes;
B, ionization energy tends to increase across a period because the nuclear charge increases.
C, ionization energy tends to increase across a period because electrons are added to the same main energy level.
E, The ionization energies of elements in Group 13 tend to be lower than the elements in Group 2 because the full s orbital shields the electron, in the p orbital from the nucleus. 
Ionization energies measure the tendency of a neutral atom to resist the loss of electrons. It takes a considerable amount of energy, for example to remove an electron from a neutral fluorine atom to form a positively charged ion. <span />

Convert 5.0x10^24 molecules to liters.
makvit [3.9K]
Number of moles = 5 x 10^24 / 6.02 x 10^23 = 8.305 moles. Volume= moles x 22.4 = 186.032 liters. Hope this helps!

The volume of a gas is 36.0 ml at 10.0°c and 4.50 atm. at what temperature (°c) will the gas have a pressure of 3.50 atm and a v
galben [10]
Using the combined gas law, where PV/T = constant, we first solve for PV/T for the initial conditions: (4.50 atm)(36.0 mL)/(10.0 + 273.15 K) = 0.57213.
Remember to use absolute temperature.
For the final conditions: (3.50 atm)(85.0 mL)/T = 297.5/T
Since these must equal, 0.57213 = 297.5/T
T = 519.98 K
Subtracting 273.15 gives 246.83 degC.

What is the percent yield of this reaction if 22.o g of Mgl2 is produced by the reaction of 25.0 g of Mg with 25.0 g of l2?
expeople1 [14]

% yield = 80.719

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

22.0 g of Mgl₂

25.0 g of Mg

25.0 g of l₂

Required

The percent yield

Solution

Reaction

Mg + I₂⇒ MgI₂

mol Mg = 25 g : 24.305 g/mol = 1.029

mol I₂ = 25 g : 253.809 g/mol = 0.098

Limiting reactant = I₂

Excess reactant = Mg

mol MgI₂ based on I₂, so mol MgI₂ = 0.098

Mass MgI₂ (theoretical):

= mol x MW

= 0.098 x 278.114

= 27.255 g

% yield = (actual/theoretical) x 100%

% yield = (22 / 27.255) x 100%

% yield = 80.719
