ANSWERS:
Group 2 metal carbonates, nitrates and hydroxides decompose to heat to give the corresponding metal oxide and release CO2, NO2 and O2, and H2O respectively. The thermal stability increases down the group as theionic character of the compounds increases down the group.
Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.
Answer:
Cations are positively charged atoms and hence we need to make the atom positively charged in order to get a cation
We know that an atom is neutral as a whole, so we have equal number of electrons and protons
since we cannot mess with the number of protons in an atom, we have to do it by altering the number of electrons
If we reduce the amount of electrons in an atom, the net charge will be positive and hence a cation will be formed
