Mg as an element is zero
oxygen as an element is likewise zero
Mg as an ion +2
Oxgen as an ion -2
MgO compound net zero
Mg3N2 is a compound, it has no net charge.
+3
NCl3 is not ionic but MgF2 is ionic
Neon's overall charge is negative.
No. Magnesium forms an ion with a 2+ charge while fluorine forms an ion with a 1- charge, so the resulting compound is MgF2. MgF3 would require magnesium to have a 3+ charge, which would be unstable.
The formula unit for magnesium fluoride is MgF2. From the periodic table, add the atomic weight of 1 magnesium atom and 2 fluorine atoms to get to get 62.3018. This means that 1 mole of MgF2 is 62.3018g of MgF2. Now, to find out the mass of 4.78 mol MgF2 X the g/mol so that you will cancel the moles, and keep the grams. 4.78 mol MgF2 X 62.3018g MgF2/1mol MgF2 = 297g MgF2 *The answer 297 is in keeping with significant figures. When you multiply or divide, the answer can have no more than the fewest significant figures in the calculation, which was 4.78, and which has only three significant figures.
An example is the hydroxyl ion: (OH)-.
MgF2 is higher that LiF do to the greater bond strength in MgF2. This greater strength is indicated by the charge of Mg (+3) which is higher than the +2 charge of Li. Also the MgF2 is larger in mass.
