Answer:
Magnesium Nitrate is an ionic compound formed by Magnesium
Mg+2
the cation and Nitrate
NO3-
the polyatomic anion.
In order for these two ions to bond the charges must be equal and opposite. Therefore, it will take two -1 nitrate ions to balance the one +2 magnesium ion. This will make the formula for Magnesium Nitrate Mg(NO3)2.
I hope this was helpful.
