What is the formula for magnesium sulfite ?

The chemical formula for magnesium sulfite is

Explanation:

The given compound is formed by the combination of magnesium and sulfite ions. This is an ionic compound.

Magnesium is the 12th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of .

To form ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for magnesium sulfite is

quartz

explanation:

a  solution  is always transparent, light passes through with no scattering from solute particles which are molecule in size. the  solution  is homogeneous and does not settle out. a colloid is intermediate between asolution  and a  suspension. while asuspension  will separate out a colloid will not.
