2024年6月16日 · Magnesium is 2+ Oxygen is 2- Mg2O2 should really be written out MgO since the two's cancel out. Mg is a metal so it loses 2 electrons to become a noble gas which makes it a positive 2 Oxygen is a ...

It doesn't exist. MgO exists, which is Magnesium Oxide, and MgO2 exists, which is Magnesium Peroxide, but Mg2O2 doesn't. Hope this helped!

The chemical formula "Mg2O2" is incorrect. The correct formula for magnesium oxide is "MgO". Magnesium oxide is formed by the combination of one magnesium atom with one oxygen atom, not two.

2024年5月26日 · The chemical formula "Mg2O2" is incorrect. The correct formula for magnesium oxide is "MgO". Magnesium oxide is formed by the combination of one magnesium atom with one oxygen ...

2024年6月17日 · The formula Mg2O2 represents magnesium oxide because magnesium has a +2 charge and oxygen has a -2 charge. To balance the charges, two magnesium atoms combine with two oxygen atoms.

When you have two nonmetals bounded together, you form a covalent bond. When the covalently-bonded molecule consists of two atoms of different elements, you give the second atom the prefix "mono ...

Criss-crossing these numbers would give Mg2O2. However, when dealing with ionic compounds you can reduce these numbers just like a fraction, giving you MgO. Harder yet is Calcium Chloride, whose ...
