Chemistry! please help i mean really!?
when atom has positive charge, means lost electrons, has empty spaces bond other electrons. (h+, example, hydrogen no electron) number in front of + relative how many electrons lost. mg 2+ lost 2 electrons.
find total positive charge, have figure out how draw atom (lewis structure works best this). if have spaces no electrons, have positive charge. if have non binding electrons, have negative charge.
a, magnesium chloride, , because bonds 2 cl- (ions) neutral, has no charge.
magnesium sulfate bonds sulfate (sulfur , 4 oxygen) negative molecule (2-), again, molecule neutral.
try , figure out last 1 on own!
luck
if magnesium ion has charge of 2+ (mg^2+), total positive charge represented 1 formula unit of each of compounds:
a. mgcl^2
b. mgsov4
c. mgv2(pov4)v2
