What is the correct formula for combining Mg2+ and Br1+

Chemistry
1 answer:
True [87]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: The correct formula is MgBr_2

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 Mg^{2+} cation and bromine Br^{-} 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 MgBr_2.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

A compressed spring

Explanation:

A compressed spring has potential energy only and no kinetic energy.

This is because kinetic energy is only possessed by particles in motion.

Energy in a compressed spring= -1/2kx² where x is the displacement.

In this equation there is no velocity so there is no kinetic energy.

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Both scientific laws and scientific theories are not based on hypothesis.

Because , scientific laws are proven and so they are real not hypothetical.

Whereas scientifc theories can be hypothetical.

Thank you
