(a)
Interpretation:
The element Magnesium is an alkali metal or an alkaline earth element has to be discussed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The element Magnesium is a cation former or anion former has to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Metals are elements that have the tendency of losing one or two electrons to gain a positive charge.
(c)
Interpretation:
Which sublevel is their outermost electron located in Magnesium has to be identified.
(d)
Interpretation:
The shorthand electronic configuration of Magnesium has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Electron configuration means the distribution of electrons of an atom.
(e)
Interpretation:
Magnesium has higher or lower ionization energy than Calcium should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Ionization energyis the minimum energy that is required to remove one electron from the valence shell of a gaseous atom.
Ionization energy increases moving from left to right across an element period.
(f)
Interpretation:
Magnesium has smaller or larger atom than Calcium should be explained.
(g)
Interpretation:
The formula of both the Magnesium and Calcium ions and reason for which one is larger has to be explained.
