Correct answer is magnesium bromide. This is an ionic compound with metal forming a positive ion - K+ and halogen forming a negative ion - Br-. When group 7 element form ions they have a suffix -ide. Bromine is the element and when it forms a negative ion bromine is called bromide with the suffix.
Magnesium gives 2 electrons and bromine can take only 1 electron, therefore 2 bromine atoms are needed. Therefore magnesium forms ionic bonds with 2 bromine atoms.
The compound is called magnesium bromide
Answer:
The 2 would be placed in front of the reactant Na and in front of the product NaCl
2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl
Explanation:
This is because the ratio of elements needs to be balanced on both sides.
On the reactants side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules
On the products side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules
So, now the equation is balanced
the answer is twenty eight
