What is the number of ions in the element magnesium?
positive ion - magnesium(cation) negative ion-chloride (anion)
Why lithium fluoride is a neutral compound even though it is made up of ions that have posotive and negative charges?
Lithium ions have a charge of +1 and fluoride ions have a charge of -1. The formula unit for lithium fluoride is LiF, which means that the lithium and fluoride ions are present in a 1:1 ratio. So the positive and negative charges cancel each other, and the compound lithium fluoride is neutral.
How many moles of magnesium oxide re formed when 4 moles of magnesium react with oxygen this is the formula for the reaction?
The formula for magnesium oxide is MgO, showing that each formula unit of magnesium oxide contains one mole of magnesium ions. Therefore, if there is ample oxygen available, 4 moles of magnesium will form 4 moles of magnesium oxide.
What charge will each ions have magnesium?
+2 charge for magnesium ion
What is the formula for the ionic compounds formed by magnesium ions and calcium ions with nitrate ions?
Mg(NO3)2 and Ca(NO3)2
What are the symbols for the ions in magnesium fluoride?
magnesium fluoride is MgF2, Mg2+ F-
What is the correct interpretation of the formula MgF2?
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.
Would you expect the ions in a sample of magnesium fluoride to have a strong or weak attraction for each other?
Strong Attraction
What formula for a compound has a ratio between positive and negative ions that is one to two?
but I also need the sum of the atomic numbers for the two elements involved in the polyatomic ion to be 13.
What is the formula for ionic compound formed between magnesium and fluorine?
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
What is the number of ions in the element magnesium?
positive ion - magnesium(cation) negative ion-chloride (anion)
Why is calcium fluoride have a smaller boiling point then magnesium fluoride?
The calcium ion is larger than the magnesium ion and so the charge on it is less dense. This makes it less attracted to the fluoride ions
Are ions in magnesium fluoride held together loosely or tightly?
very tightly
What is the interactive force between particles in magnesium Fluorine?
Magnesium fluoride, MgF2 is held together by ionic bonding between the positively charged magnesium ion and the negatively charged fluoride ions.
Why lithium fluoride is a neutral compound even though it is made up of ions that have posotive and negative charges?
Lithium ions have a charge of +1 and fluoride ions have a charge of -1. The formula unit for lithium fluoride is LiF, which means that the lithium and fluoride ions are present in a 1:1 ratio. So the positive and negative charges cancel each other, and the compound lithium fluoride is neutral.
Which is formula for the compound made when magnesium ions and chloride ions are mixed?
MgCl2 (Magnesium Chloride)
What is the formula for an ionic compound that contains the elements magnesium and chlorine?
Magnesium ions have a 2+ charge, while chloride ions each have 1- charge. In order to cancel out the charges to create a stable, neutral compound, the formula must be MgCl2.
