3 0

The overall charge on this ion is -3. Neutrons don’t carry a charge, while protons and electrons carry a net +1 and -1 charge, respectively. In this case, the electrons outweigh the protons by 3, making the overall charge -3.

Hope this helps!

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

1.25 g MgO contains .754 g of Mg .Rest will be O

so oxide = 1.25 - .754 = 0.496 g

ratio of magnesium to oxide = .754/.496 = 1.52

b) 1.25 g of MgO contains .754 g of Mg

534 g of MgO contains .754 x 534 / 1.25 g = 322.11 g
