Mg+2 means that when the element Magnesium combines with another element, it will:
A. gain two electrons B. loose two electrons
C. gain two protons D. loose two protons
For the exam:
1) Know ‘ions’ and how they are formed – cations & anions.
2) Know how to determine if an element is a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid
3) Know how to determine when elements combine if they combine with ionic bonds or covalent bonds.
4) Know how to determine the chemical formula for ionic and covalent compounds.
5) Know how to determine the compound name for ionic compounds.
6) Study the lecture notes on Mrs. Shankles’ website titled “Chemical_Compounds_Bonds”. a. there are multiple choice questions on the exam.
