Magnesium 2+
It would just be called an ion of magnesium. There is only one oxidation state for magnesium.
A Mg atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a neutral charge, while a Mg^2+ ion has lost two electrons, giving it a positive charge. This difference in electron configuration affects the reactivity and chemical properties of each.
Here exist: 1 ion Mg+ and ion (CO3)-.
Mg(NO3)2 is an ionic compound. The magnesium ion (Mg^2+) is a metal, and the nitrate ion (NO3^-) is a polyatomic ion. Ionic compounds are formed through the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal (or polyatomic ion).
The symbol for a magnesium ion is Mg^2+. The superscript 2+ indicates that the magnesium ion has a positive charge of 2.
+2
The ion has a smaller diameter.
2H3O+ + Mg → Mg2+ +H2 + 2H2O
