S + 2e⁻ → S²⁻ (sulfur will gain electrons)
Mg - 2e⁻ → Mg²⁺ (magnesium will lose electrons)
Magnesium is a metal which tends to give electrons which are received by the sulfur, which is a nonmetal and tends to gain electrons.
The Empirical Formula is
<span>a formula giving the proportions of the elements present in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of atoms.</span>
Answer:
Understanding the unit cell of a crystalline solid will help you in determining the empirical formula of the ionic solid compound because they both represent the smallest portion of the whole crystalline solid proportion.
Explanation:
A unit cell is the smallest portion of a crystal lattice, that can show the 3 dimensional pattern of the whole crystal.A formula unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions in a an ionic compound.By considering the smallest repeating units/ unit cell, you can describe the structure of a crystalline solid.Knowing this can help in determining the empirical formula of the ionic solid compound.
Some meringues are different and don't require the same ingredients just follow the recipe as said!!! Good luck
