Answer: The correct formula is 
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as
cation and bromine
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.
Answer:

2. In the equation, CO₂ is a___reactant_____.
3. In the equation, C₆H₁₂0₆ is a ___product________.
4. In O₂, the type of bond that holds the two oxygen atoms together is a_nonpolar_covalent bond_________.
5. In H₂O, the type of bond that holds one of the hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom is a__polar_hydrogen bond____.
6. The number of oxygen atoms on the left side of the equation is__equal to_________ the number of oxygen atoms on the right side.
Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixture are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.
Answer:
66.2 % of O
Explanation:
Our compound is the lithium nitrite.
LiNO₂
This salt is ionic and can be dissociated: LiNO₂ → Li⁺ + NO₂⁻
We determine the molar mass:
molar mass of Li + 3 . molar mass of N + 6 . molar mass of O
6.94 g/mol + 3. 14 g/mol + 6 . 16 g/mol = 144.94 g/mol
The mass of oxygen contained in 1 mol of lithium nitrite is:
6 . 16 g/mol = 96 g
So the percentage of oxygen present is:
(96 g / 144.94 g) . 100 = 66.2 %
