Magnesium can only exist in its 2+ state of a cation ( Mg2+).
Magnesium 2+
It would just be called an ion of magnesium. There is only one oxidation state for magnesium.
Here exist: 1 ion Mg+ and ion (CO3)-.
It becomes a positively charged Magnesium ion.
The symbol for the magnesium ion formed when magnesium metal reacts with sulfur is Mg^2+.
Magnesium 2+
It would just be called an ion of magnesium. There is only one oxidation state for magnesium.
The symbol for a magnesium ion is Mg^2+. The superscript 2+ indicates that the magnesium ion has a positive charge of 2.
Magnesium once formed an ion the charge is 2+ .
Magnesium forms a 2+ ion by giving away its two outermost electrons.
The symbol for the magnesium ion formed when magnesium metal reacts with sulfur is Mg^2+.
Here exist: 1 ion Mg+ and ion (CO3)-.
It becomes a positively charged Magnesium ion.
The positively charged magnesium ion and the negatively charged chloride ion.
The symbol for the magnesium ion is Mg2+ and the symbol for the fluoride ion is F-.
They form an ionic compound.
Magnesium is an atom; but this atom can be transformed in an electrically charged atom - called cation, Mg2+.
