Answer:
A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).
Explanation:
An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.
To calculate the mass of milk of magnesia given, we need certain data like molar mass of the compound which needs the atomic mass of the atoms in the compound. We calculate as follows:
Molar mass of <span>Mg(OH)2 = 24.3 g/mol + (2 x (16 + 1.0)) = 58.30 g/mol
Mass = 3.2 mol (</span>58.30 g/mol) = 186.56 grams
In math it’s just horizontal in science it’s periods
The top one does because there are more and it’s closer
It would be Magnesium = 1 atom, Oxygen = 2 atoms, Hydrogen = 2 atoms. It has 5 atoms total. There is 1 magnesium and you multiply each element by the the 2 outside the parenthesis to get 2 oxygen and 2 hydrogen.
