Fix the formula for Mg3F
Write out the full correct formula?

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since, when we see an ionic binary salt like that formed by magnesium (metal) and fluorine (nonmetal), in order to set up the correct molecular formula we need to check out the periodic table in order to identify the suitable oxidation states, since metals remain positively charged as they lose electrons and nonmetals negatively charged as they gain electrons.

In such a way, since the oxidation state of magnesium is +2 and that of fluorine is -1 we write:

Next, we need to exchange the oxidation states as subscripts without the charge to obtain:

Which is the corrected molecular formula for magnesium fluoride.

Best regards!

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
