Question

mg2+ is much more hydrated than Na+ why​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

you have Na+ and Mg2+, both simillar size but Mg has higher oxidation state and 1 more proton (possitive charged core) than Na+ so the ions are of the same size but charge is different. So the larger the charge, the same volume, still the larger the charge density, has much more hydrate capacity
