Mg has an oxidation state of +2 & hydroxide has the oxidation state of -1. Formula of Magnesium hydroxide is Mg(OH)2
[Ne]3s2
Atom Mg-26 in the ground state has 2 valence electrons. Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12, so it has 12 electrons in total. In the ground state, the electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2, which means it has 2 electrons in the outermost shell (valence electrons).
Yes, it is possible to get magnesium (Mg) in its +1 oxidation state, referred to as Mg¹⁺, but it is highly unstable and not commonly encountered. Magnesium typically forms a +2 oxidation state (Mg²⁺) in compounds due to its tendency to lose two electrons. The +1 state is theoretically possible under specific conditions but is not favored in natural or typical chemical environments.
In Mg2P2O7, magnesium (Mg) has an oxidation state of +2, phosphorus (P) has an oxidation state of +5, and oxygen (O) has an oxidation state of -2. The sum of the oxidation states for each element in the compound must equal zero due to its neutrality.
