Is Mg2 plus an acid or base?
Neither. Mg+2 is an ion.
A Mg atom differs from a Mg2 plus ion in that the Mg atom has?
The Mg atom has more electron than the Mg+2 ion.
How many chloride ions are present in a formula unit of magnesium chloride given the charge on a mg ion is 2 plus?
Chloride ions have a charge of 1-. Since the charge on an Mg ion is 2+, the formula unit of Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2. There are 2 chloride ions for each Mg ion.
What is the number of electrons that were lost gained to form Mg2 plus?
Mg 2.8.2 likes to lose 2 electrons to become Mg 2.8, when it loses them it becomes an Mg 2+ ion.
Is Mg(OH)2 an ionic compound?
YES!!! Mg(OH)2 = Mg^(2+) + 2(OH)^- The magnesium ion and ther hyroxide ions , combine ionically. However, within the hydroxide ion the oxygen and hydrogen combine covalently.
