Question

When nitrogen and magnesium form an ionic bond, what is the formula?

N3Mg2
N2Mg3
Mg2N3
Mg3N2

Answer 1

the charge on nitrogen is -3 and the charge on magnesium is +2. When they react with each other, their powers in chemical equation crisscross like Mg2N3. Makesure to write a solid first and gas after. in this case Manesium comes first and nitrogen which is a gas comes after. The name of the compopund is Magnesium Nitride

Answer 2

yes, yes. so the answer would be option D?

Answer 3

Mg3N2. yep
sorry i accidently wrote Mg2N3 up there......

Answer 4

no you are fine that you very much!
