Want this question answered?
magnesium oxide is made up of two elements magnesium & oxygen..
They are NOT, Mg (metal) and O2 (bi-atomic gas) are elements and not compounds,BUTMagnesium oxide ( Mg=O ) is an ionic compound
No, magnesium oxide is a compound made of the elements magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O).
elements and compounds
It is made of two elements: Magnesium and oxygen
The answer is in the question. Magnesium is an element, so is oxygen, together they can form MgO, a compound, as compounds are multi atomic structures, like Iron Oxide, another rust just like MgO.
Magnesium oxide is classified as a compound because it is composed of two different elements, magnesium and oxygen, chemically bonded. The formula unit for magnesium oxide is MgO.
No, magnesium oxide consists of positive magnesium ions (Mg2+) and negative oxide (O2-) ions. It is a white powder. Magnesium and oxygen are to separate substances. Magnesium consists of neutral magnesium atoms (Mg). It is a silvery metal. Oxygen consists of neutral oxygen molecules (O2) it is a colorless gas.
Magnesium = Mg+2 Oxygen = O-2 (Mg+2)+(O-2) = MgO = Magnesium Oxide so the formula for oxygen + magnesium - oxygen + magnesium oxide
Nitrogen and oxygen are nonmetals.Copper oxide and sodium chloride are compounds, not elements.
Magnesium oxide contains magnesium and oxygen.
No, it is a compound, not a mixture. Its formula is MgO, and it contains Magnesium and Oxygen (two fairly common elements).
