What else can I help you with?
Is magnesium anion or cation?
i don't know go back to school:) it's a cation!
Is magnesium a ionic or covalent bond?
Magnesium is NOT a bond, but an elemental name. However, magnesium ionises by losing two electrons to form the magnesium cation. Mg = Mg^(2+) + 2e^(-) It is the magnesium cation that form ionic bonds with anions.
What kind of ion does magnesium form?
Mg ^ 2+ :D
What magnesium sulphate is cation or anion?
Magnesium sulfate is a salt; Mg2+ is the cation and (SO4)2- is the anion.
What the formulae of the cation and anions present in magnesium chloride?
The cation in magnesium chloride is Mg2+ and the anion is Cl-.
What is the cation of MgCrO4?
The cation of MgCrO4 is Mg^2+ (magnesium ion).
What is MgBr2 in ionic compound?
Yes.The cation,Mg 2+bonds with the anions,2Br 2-to form,MgBr2------------------magnesium bromide
Are sodium and magnesium are ionic or non ionic?
Sodium and magnesium are both ionic elements. Sodium forms a +1 cation, and magnesium forms a +2 cation when they lose electrons, resulting in the formation of ionic compounds when they react with non-metallic elements.
Do magnesium and argon for an ionic compound?
No. Argon is chemically inert and does not form any bond with magnesium (or other metals).
Is Mg ionic or molecular?
ionic
How many electrons does mg atom lose to form a mg cation?
A magnesium (Mg) atom loses two electrons to form a magnesium cation (Mg²⁺). This occurs because magnesium has two electrons in its outermost shell, and it tends to lose these electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of the nearest noble gas, neon. As a result, Mg²⁺ has a positive charge of +2.
Which is the cation in mgbr2?
In the compound MgBr₂, the cation is magnesium (Mg²⁺). Magnesium donates two electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in a positive charge. The anions in this compound are bromide ions (Br⁻), which balance the charge of the cation. Thus, MgBr₂ is composed of one magnesium cation and two bromide anions.
