magnesium and fluorine
but I also need the sum of the atomic numbers for the two elements involved in the polyatomic ion to be 13.
The formula for magnesium fluoride is: MgF2 magnesium is a +2 charge, fluoride is a -1 so each fluoride gives 1 electron to satisfy its electron shell.
Magnesium and nitrogen.
The two elements in magnesium chloride are magnesium and chlorine.
Magnesium fluoride, MgF2 is held together by ionic bonding between the positively charged magnesium ion and the negatively charged fluoride ions.
Magnesium and fluorine will produce magnesium fluoride by ionic bonding.
The two elements that make up this compound are magnesium and fluorine. Flourine is a halogen and magnesium is an alkaline earth metal. This makes it an ionic compound, so the name would be magnesium fluoride.
Magnesium chloride is a chemical compound and is therefore not a metal. It is ionic and is not metallic in its properties. Non-metal usually refers to elements.
but I also need the sum of the atomic numbers for the two elements involved in the polyatomic ion to be 13.
Fluoride, aluminum, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese and calcium.
magnesium fluoride is MgF2, Mg2+ F-
Magnesium atoms lose 2 electrons to form a Mg2+ ion, and fluorine atoms gain 1 electron to form a F- ion. One magnesium ion forms an electrostatic attraction with two fluoride ions. This electrostatic attraction is an ionic bond. The resulting ionic compound is MgF2. Mg2+ + 2F- ---> MgF2
That's magnesium fluoride: one magnesium atom, two fluorine atoms.
These are the ions and their charges: Mg+2 F-1The charges have to add up to zero, so two -1 fluorine cancel out one +2 magnesium ion: Mg+2 F-1 F-1Simplify: MgF2
The formula for magnesium fluoride is: MgF2 magnesium is a +2 charge, fluoride is a -1 so each fluoride gives 1 electron to satisfy its electron shell.
Magnesium chloride also known as MgCl2 is composed of two elements: magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (Cl). Therefore the answer to the question is two elements: magnesium and chlorine.
magnesium oxide is made up of two elements magnesium & oxygen..
