Chemistry

Answer:

The number of Bromine combining magnesium

Explanation:

The subscript gives the number of atom/s combining to form a compound. For this problem, 1 atom of Mg combines with 2 atoms of Br.

To form the ionic combine, Mg will lose two electrons. A bromine atom requires just one electron to have a complete octet. So, two bromine atoms will be needed to complete the bonding process.

Therefore, Mg loses two electrons to two Br atoms and the electrostatic attraction from the charges created forms the ionic bond.

How to balance barium and oxygen yield barium oxide
olga55 [171]
Barium : Ba^{+2} with +2 being the charge
Oxygen : O^{-2} with -2 being the charge

The given equation can be written as:
Ba + O = BaO

Since the sum charges of Barium and Oxygen equals 0, there is no need to add subscripts.

Both Ba and O appear on the left and right side of the equation once, so there is no need to add a coefficient.

Ba + O = BaO is balanced
