they cannot bond together, they are separate .
The Ca2+ ion is larger than the Mg2+ ion. The ionic radii are: 86pm for the Mg2+ and 114pm for the Ca2+. Besides the fact that the Ca2+ has more electrons this can be explained by the principle of electron shielding. Electron shielding is when lower level electrons block the EFC(effective nuclear charge) from effecting the valence electrons of an ion. Ca2+has more electrons than Mg2+ so more electron shielding occurs.
Na+ and Mg2+ can be separated by adding CO32- ions to the solution, forming MgCO3 precipitate which can be filtered off.
Sodium (Na+) Potassium (K+) Chloride (Cl-) Bicarbonate (HCO3-) Hydrogen (H+) Calcium (Ca2+) Magnesium (Mg2+)
Ca2+ is isoelectronic with the noble gas, Argon. F-, Mg2+ are isoelectronic with the noble gas, Neon. I- is isoelectronic with the noble gas, Xenon
Total hardness=(Ca2+)*(combining weight of CaCO3/combining weight of Ca2+) +(Mg2+)(combining weight of CaCO3/combining weight of Mg2+)
I think you may asking about Ca2+, Mg2+.Na+ , etc..Isnt it? I think think they can be separated to Atoms & electrons. Like this Mg2+ Separate as Magnesium Atom & 2 electrons
Cations are positively charged ions. •Na+ •K+ •Ca2+ •Mg2+
Mg2+ and Ca2+ (and many more!)

Ca2+ , Mg2+ .
Mg is in period 3. Ca is in period 4. Down a group the size increases. So Mg is smaller than Ca.

The group 2 elements form ions with a 2+ charge. For example, Mg2+ and Ca2+. The group 16 elements form ions with a 2- charge. For example, O2- and S2-.
