What is the name of the formula MgCl2?

Answer 1

Because, the chemical name for Magnesium is Mg

and the chemical formula for Chlorine is Cl ;

Magnesium has 12 Electons and protons so to make the outer shell of the 2,8,8,2 rule you need to - 2 electrons to make it a full shell. so... Mg now has 10 Electons. and its NEGATIVE.

Chlorine has 17 electons and protons so to make the outer shell of the 2,8,8,2 rule on this one you need to +1 electon in order to make it a full outer shell so .... Cl now has 18 electrons and is POSITIVE.

This is called IONIC BONDING which is the attraction between a + positive ion and a - negative .

Its kinda confusing but i hope this helps(:

Answer 2

The formula MgCl2 is called Magnesium chloride its a chemical compound used in laboratories
There is no such compound as MgCi2

The correct formula is MgCl2 with a lowercase L. This compound is called magnesium chloride.

Answer 3

1 Mg atom X (24.31 amu / Mg atom) = 24.31 amu

2 Cl atoms X (35.45 amu / Cl atom) = 70.90 amu

Formula mass of MgCl2 = 95.21 amu

An amu (Atomic Mass unit) is the mass of one proton or one neutrons. 1 mole of atomic mass units is 1 gram. So there are 95.21 grams in one mole of MgCl2.

Answer 4

Magnesium Chloride consists of 1 molecule Magnesium and 2 molecules Chlorine

1 molecule Magnesium equal atomic mass 24.305

1 molecule Chlorine equal 35.453 (x2) equal 70.906

Total mass would be: 95.211

Answer 5

Magnesium chloride. It usually has water of hydration.

Answer 6

Mg belongs to Group II, which makes it an Alkaline earth metal. Cl is a halogen in Group XVII. The combination of a halogen and an alkaline earth metal is ionic in nature.

Answer 7

what is the name for MgCI

Answer 8

95 amu
