Best Answer

No such molecule as MgOH2 .

I think you mean 'Mg(OH)2'

Note the use of brackets. The '2' indicates that there are two hydroxide (OH) anions .

Mg ( magnesium metal , and OH2 (an obtuse way of writing the water formula), If water and magnesium came in to contact they would immediately react. So MgOH2 is nonsensical.

Nonsensical. It would be magnesium, if magnesium formed a diatomic molecule with itself, which it doesn't.
