The formula for calcium oxide is CaO. What are the formulas for magnesium oxide and strontium oxide?

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO

Explanation:

Ca, Mg and Sr are same group bivalent metals.

Oxygen is a bivalent element

In general, formula of a compound made of a cation $M^{x+}$ and an anion $A^{y-}$ is $M_{y}A_{x}$ for $x\neq y$

When x = y, formula of the compound becomes MA

As both these metals and oxygen are bivalent therefore formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO.
