y’all I am so sorry I need help again
Above are the elements magnesium and oxygen. Which of the statements below best describe
the electron behavior involved with forming a bond between the two elements?
A. The two valence electrons in the magnesium atom will be transferred to the oxygen
atom thus forming an ionic bond where the compound will probably be a crystalline
solid, hard, have high melting point, conduct electricity when melted, and may be
soluble water but not nonpolar liquids.
A. The two valence electrons in the magnesium atom will be transferred to the oxygen, , atom thus forming an ionic bond where the compound will probably be a crystalline, , solid, hard, have high melting point, conduct electricity when melted, and may be, , soluble water but not nonpolar liquids.
B. The two valence electrons in the magnesium atom will be shared with the six valence
electrons in the oxygen atom thus forming a covalent bond in which the compound will
have be, gases, liquids, or solids, have low melting points, are poor conductors in all
phases, and are soluble in nonpolar liquids but not in water.
B. The two valence electrons in the magnesium atom will be shared with the six valence, , electrons in the oxygen atom thus forming a covalent bond in which the compound will, , have be, gases, liquids, or solids, have low melting points, are poor conductors in all, , phases, and are soluble in nonpolar liquids but not in water.
C. The six valence electrons in the oxygen atom will be shared with two valence electrons
in the magnesium atom to form a compound will have a high melting point, be soluble
in polar solvents and hard.
C. The six valence electrons in the oxygen atom will be shared with two valence electrons, , in the magnesium atom to form a compound will have a high melting point, be soluble, , in polar solvents and hard.
D. The electrons from both atoms will form an extra shell in which the atoms will draw the
energy it needs from that shell when necessary to form a compound with properties
such as high melting point, be soluble in polar solvents and hard.
