The electronic structure of Magnesium is 2,8,2
so in order to form a stable ions, it will lose 2 electrons.
Now, the proton number of Mg is 12, electron number is 10.
It will show positive charge.
Conclusion: Mg will lose 2 electrons to form Mg2+.
Answer: hydroxide ions
Explanation:
According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .
According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.
According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.
As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.
