In the reaction Mg(s) plus 2H2O(l)Mg(OH)2(s) plus H2(g) what is the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(OH)2(s)?
The oxidation state of magnesium in magnesium hydroxide is +2 no matter what reaction you are looking at.
A Mg atom differs from a Mg2 plus ion in that the Mg atom has?
A Mg atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a neutral charge, while a Mg^2+ ion has lost two electrons, giving it a positive charge. This difference in electron configuration affects the reactivity and chemical properties of each.
What is the common ion for magnesium?
The common ion for magnesium is Mg²⁺.
How many chloride ions are present in a formula unit of magnesium chloride given the charge on a mg ion is 2 plus?
There would be two chloride ions present in a formula unit of magnesium chloride, as magnesium has a 2+ charge and chloride has a 1- charge. The charges must balance out in the formula unit.
What is the number of electrons that were lost gained to form Mg2 plus?
To form Mg2+, one electron is lost. Magnesium (Mg) normally has 12 electrons, but when it loses one electron to form Mg2+, it then has 11 electrons.
What is the cation of MgSO4 plus 7H2O?
The cation of MgSO4·7H2O is Mg^2+ (magnesium ion).
What is the symbol for magnesium ion?
The symbol for a magnesium ion is Mg^2+. The superscript 2+ indicates that the magnesium ion has a positive charge of 2.
In the reaction Mg(s) plus 2H2O(l)Mg(OH)2(s) plus H2(g) what is the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(OH)2(s)?
The oxidation state of magnesium in magnesium hydroxide is +2 no matter what reaction you are looking at.

How many protons neutron electrons does Mg plus 2 have?
The ion Mg(2+) has 12 protons, 10 electrons and 12, 13 0r 14 neutrons depending on the isotope.
What is the charge of an Mg ion?
+2
Is mg plus 2 an anion?
No, it's a cation. Cat(ion)s have Paws(itive charges) Cats Have Paws
What is the name of the process recurring when an ion changes from 2 plus to 4 plus?
Oxidation
What is the name given to the electrical charge on an ion?
The name given to the electrical charge on an ion is a oxidation number. The charge of the ion typically formed by strontium is 2 plus.
What is the common ion for magnesium?
The common ion for magnesium is Mg²⁺.
What is the formula and charge for Hydroxide Ion and Mg-2?
The formula and charge for the hydroxide ion is OH-, and the formula and charge for the magnesium ion is Mg2+. Together they make magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2.
What is the formula and charge for carbonate ion and Mg 2?
The formula for carbonate ion is CO3^2-, with a charge of -2. The formula for magnesium ion is Mg^2+, with a charge of +2.
