split it.
Calcium (Ca) does it give or take electrons?

anonymous · Answer

yes?

anonymous · Answer

its a question. does it give or take electrons?

anonymous · Answer

are you asking me because you don't know or asking me to see if I know?

anonymous · Answer

oh, well yes it gives electrons.

anonymous · Answer

good, now how many? (hint: check the group number)

anonymous · Answer

2

anonymous · Answer

perfect, wehn you put that into equation,
$$Ca\longrightarrow Ca^{2+}+2e^-$$

anonymous · Answer

then, how does MgCl2 dissociate?

anonymous · Answer

Mg is right above "Ca" and Cl is a halogen.

anonymous · Answer

wait-- im confused, disassociate?

anonymous · Answer

yes, in aqueous solution!!!

anonymous · Answer

MgCl2 is an ionic solid!!

anonymous · Answer

$$MgCl_2\longrightarrow Mg^{2+}+2Cl^-$$

anonymous · Answer

now we have all the raw ions to re-combine to give you the product..
write that equation down using the equation button
