Answer: This contains magnesium, Mg2+, and hydroxide, OH–
, ions. Each magnesium ion is +2 and
each hydroxide ion is -1: two -1 ions are needed for one +2 ion, and the formula for magnesium
hydroxide is Mg(OH)2. The (OH)2 indicates there are two OH–
ions. In a formula unit of
Mg(OH)2, there are one magnesium ion and two hydroxide ions; or one magnesium, two
oxygen, and two hydrogen atoms. The subscript multiplies everything in ( )

Answer:
C. That atoms made up the smallest form of matter
Explanation:
The crux of the Dalton's atomic theory is that atoms are the smallest form of matter. He propositioned that atoms is an indivisible particle and beyond an atom, no form of matter exists.
Series of discoveries through time have greatly shaped the Dalton's atomic theory. The discovery of cathode rays by J.J Thomson in 1897 opened up the atom. Atoms were now seen to be made up of some negatively charged particles. Ernest Rutherford through his gold foil experiment proposed the nuclear model of the atom.
The answer is zero!
