Question

6. When MgO is dissolved in water,
Mg(OH)2 is obtained. The solution
thus obtained is in nature​

Answer 1

Answer:magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The reaction involved is: 2Mg(s)+O2(g)→2MgO(s) The metal oxide form alkali solution when dissolved in water. This solution turns red litmus paper to blue. Hence, these metal oxides are basic in nature

Explanation:correct

Answer 2
