Magnesium is divalent. This means that one magnesium atom needs to lose 2 electrons in order to become stable.

Chlorine, on the other hand, is monovalent. This means that one chlorine atom needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Based on this, one magnesium atom will combine with two chlorine atoms, where the magnesium loses two electrons, one for each chlorine.

The formula of the compound formed is: MgCl2

<span>Cations mix with anions, so you know NH4+ won't mix with K+ and SO4(2-) won't miix with F-. For the reason that NH4+ and F- together have single charges, they'll mix in a 1:1 ratio, NH4F. There's two charges on SO4(2-), so it'll need two K+ to mix with, K2SO4.</span>

How many miles of O2 can be produced by letting 12.00 miles of KC103 react?
Marat540 [252]
 2KClO3 --> 2KClO2 + O2 
    12                               6    (moles) 
The ratio of KClO3 and O2 is 2:1. This means 2 moles of KClO3 can create 1 mole of O2. So 12 moles of KClO3 will create 6 moles of O2.
