Want this question answered?
Magnesium is the cation and sulfur is the anion.
Magnesium will form a positive ion during ionic bonding. Sulfur will form a negative ion during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
Mg2+
Mg2+
A magnesium ion will be smaller because there will be a greater Zeff on the electrons in the magnesium ion due to a greater number of protons in the nucleus.

yes sulfur is positive ion
Mg2+
Mg2+
Mg2+
What has a larger radii, a sulfur atom or sulfied ion and why
Magnesium is located in Group II in the periodic table. Every element in Group II will form an ion with the charge of 2+ by losing two electrons. Hence, magnesium will form the magnesium ion: Mg2+. Sulfur is located in Group VI in the periodic table. Every element in Group VI will form an ion with the charge of 2- by gaining two electron. Hence, sulfur will form the sulfur ion: S2-.
A magnesium ion will be smaller because there will be a greater Zeff on the electrons in the magnesium ion due to a greater number of protons in the nucleus.
Negavtive ... 2-
Mg ^ 2+ :D
It depends if it the ion of magnesium, if it is the ion, then it is positive. If not, then it is neutral.
