Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
A combustion reaction is a major class of chemical reactions, commonly referred to as "burning." Combustion usually occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. In the more general sense, combustion involves a reaction between any combustible material and an oxidizer to form an oxidized product. Combustion is an exothermic reaction, so it releases heat, but sometimes the reaction proceeds so slowly that a temperature change is not noticeable.
Mg(s) + O2(g) ⇒ Mgo(s)
Answer:
Magnesium is element #12. To draw the Lewis electron dot diagram we picture in our minds the symbol for Mg in a box with all of its core electrons (i.e., 1s22s22p6). Then we place the valence electrons around the sides of the box with each side representing an orbital in the outermost energy level.
