- To ionize Mg to Mg2+ costs two times as much energy as to form Mg+. The formation of O2- is endothermic rather than exothermic as for O-. Nevertheless, magnesium oxide is always formulated as Mg2+ O2- rather than Mg+O-a) Give theoretical reason for formulation of Mg2+O2-b) What simple experiment could be done to predict that magnesium oxide wasnot Mg+O- ?arrow_forwardBefore the element scandium was discovered in 1879, it was known as “eka-boron.” Predict the properties of scandium from averages of the corresponding properties of its neighboring elements in the periodic table. Compare your predictions with the observed values in Appendix F.arrow_forwardAt large interatomic separations, an alkali halide molecule MX has a lower energy as two neutral atoms, M+X ; at short separations, the ionic form (M+)(X) has a lower energy. At a certain distance, Rc , the energies of the two forms become equal, and it is near this distance that the electron will jump from the metal to the halogen atom during a collision. Because the forces between neutral atoms are weak at large distances, a reasonably good approximation can be made by ignoring any variation in potential V(R) for the neutral atoms between Rc and R= . For the ions in this distance range, Rc is dominated by their Coulomb attraction. (a) Express Rc for the first ionization energy of the metal M and the electron affinity of the halogen X. (b) Calculate Rc for LiF, KBr, and NaCl using data fromAppendix F.arrow_forward
