Neither. Mg+2 is an ion.
Mg2+ acts as a Lewis acid because it can accept a pair of electrons to form coordination complexes. In this capacity, Mg2+ does not donate electrons; rather, it accepts electron pairs from other molecules or ions.
Acid plus Base gives a Salt and Water. Acid plus Metal gives Hydrogen gas and a Salt.
Parent Acid: HCO3 Acid Strength: Weak Parent Base: Unknown
An acid plus a base will react to form salt and water in a neutralization reaction. The properties of the resulting salt will depend on the specific acid and base involved in the reaction.
There are 1.20 equivalents in 0.60 mole of Mg2+, since Mg2+ has a charge of 2+.

Mg2+: [1s22s22p6]
Magnesium, ion (Mg2+)
An acid plus a base will yield a salt and water in a neutralization reaction.
H3O is a strong acid.
Acid plus Base gives a Salt and Water. Acid plus Metal gives Hydrogen gas and a Salt.
Parent Acid: HCO3 Acid Strength: Weak Parent Base: Unknown
This is an double-displacement reaction, in this case and acid-base reaction.
Base
An acid plus a base will react to form salt and water in a neutralization reaction. The properties of the resulting salt will depend on the specific acid and base involved in the reaction.
There are 1.20 equivalents in 0.60 mole of Mg2+, since Mg2+ has a charge of 2+.
An acid plus a base will yield a salt and water. In textbooks this is often written as: HA + BOH yields AB + HOH The above means an acid with its hydronium ion added to a base with its hydroxyl group will yield a salt composed of the acid and the base plus water (hydrogen plus hydroxyl is HOH or H2O).
