Magnesium element exists as single atoms. Free oxygen is always diatomic (two atoms bonded together) as O2. Nitrogen gas is also diatomic N2.

2Mg + O2 → MgO

Mg forms a +2 ion, O forms a -2 ion, so they combine and balance in a 1:1 ratio. MgO, magnesium oxide, is a solid. 
3Mg + N2→Mg3N2

Mg forms a +2 ion, but N forms a -3 ion. Hence the Mg3N2 configuration for magnesium nitride.

¿Por qué se generan rayos (tormenta eléctrica) cuando un volcán hace erupción ?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Los relámpagos volcánicos surgen de la colisión y fragmentación de partículas de ceniza volcánica (y, a veces, hielo), que generan electricidad estática dentro de la columna volcánica, lo que lleva al nombre de tormenta eléctrica sucia. La convección húmeda y la formación de hielo también impulsan la dinámica de la pluma de erupción y pueden desencadenar rayos volcánicos. por cierto utilicé un traductor espero que esto ayude ^^

What will happen to the final pressure of a cylinder when the volume is doubled.
OLEGan [10]

If temperature were to double the pressure would likewise double. Increased temperature would increase the energy of the molecules and the number of collisions would also increase causing the increase in pressure.
