On the periodic table, Magnesium has the symbol ₁₂Mg²⁴, where 24 is the mass number and 12 is the atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons found inside an atom, w...

These elements are in the same group in the periodic table due to their electron configurations:

fluorine: 2, 7

chlorine: 2, 8, 7

They both have 7 electrons in...

A disproportionation reaction is when an element is both oxidised and reduced in the same reaction. You check this by looking at the oxidation state of the element at the begining of the reaction and t...
