What does 1 magnesium 2 bromine make?
Magnesium dibromide
What does the two tell you in MgBr2?
This means that there are two bromines in magnesium bromide, much like there are two hydrogens in water, H2O. This occurs because when magnesium forms an ion it has a charge of (+2), and when bromine forms an ion, it has a charge of (-1), Thus, it takes 2 bromines to neutralize the charge of the magnesium.
What is the chemical oxidation number for magnesium and bromine?
+2 for Mg and -1 for Br in magnesium bromide
What does 1 magnesium atom and 2 bromine atoms make?
if you poop out fusions its correct
What does it mean when magnesium has an oxidation number of 2?
It means that magnesium will give out two electrons when it forms compounds
What element can form a positive Ion Is it magnesium or carbon or oxygen or bromine?
Every Group I element (that is, the ones in the first column) have a ... Thus, bromine, oxygen, and carbon thus all form negative ions, while magnesium forms a positive ion (+2)
How many molecules does magnesium bromide have?
Magnesium bromide IS a molecule, or more correctly, it is a formula unit. So, magnesium bromide doesn't HAVE any molecules. One formula unit of magnesium bromide has THREE ATOMS, and they are 1 magnesium atom and 2 bromine atoms (MgBr2).
What is the balanced equation for magnesium bromide and chlorine?
Bromine is diatomic, so 2 atoms make up Bromine as a reactant. Mg + Br2 ----> MgBr2
What does mg2co3 mean?
I believe it is Magnesium Oxide. The 2 should be subscript, denoting the presence of two atoms of magnesium. This is because magnesium has a charge of -1, versus oxygen's typical charge of +2. Two atoms of magnesium balances the compound. No, magnesium oxide would be MgO - the magnesium has an oxidation number (or charge) of +2, compared with -2 for oxygen, so one of each is needed to balance out the molecule. I don't think Mg2O exists.
This metal is very reactive has properties similar to magnesium and is in the same period as bromine?
Calcium, period 4 group 2, very reactive
How many atoms are in compound Mg(NO3)2?
1 Magnesium and 2 Fluoride
How many chemical elements are liquids at room temperature?
Three. 35, 80, 112. The liquid status of 112 is still not certain. Two for sure, mercury and bromine.
