Suppose that your experimental formula is mg2o3. what are the implied charges on the ions in mg2o3? do these charges agree with those expected from trends in the periodic table? explain.

A. what are the implied charges on the ions in mg2o3?

Suppose that we have an element A with a charge “a+”, and element B with a charge “b-”. The chemical reaction would be:

A(a+) + B(b-) --> AbBa

So in this case, we can see that:

Mg has a charge of 3+ while O has a charge of 2-.

B. do these charges agree with those expected from trends in the periodic table

From the periodic table, we can see that Mg should only have a charge of 2+ and not 3+.

This might mean that Mg can take different oxidation states.

i believe that it is a exoplanet

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
