Answer:
Explanation:
a. the salt produced would be Mg3N2(magnesium nitride)
b. magnesium loses 2 electron to form Mg2+ ion and nitrogen gains 3 electron to form n3-
when several of these ions come together 3 Mg2+ ion combine with 2 n3- ion to form Mg3N2 thus Mg getting six electron from nitrogen to form a ionic bond.
c. the reaction is not balanced Mg + N2 = Mg3n2
to make it balanced the reaction should be 3 Mg + N2 = Mg3N2.
the reaction was not balanced before because the number of Mg on both side of the reaction was not equal.
d. magnesium nitrate has formula Mg(NO3)2 is formed when Mg combines with nitrogen and oxygen Mg + N2 + o2
