Unit 3 Lesson 14 Science
Write the chemical formula of the ionic compound magnesium chloride. If your answer contains subscripts, list the number with one underscore in front of it. (Example: Write H2O as H_2O.) Hint: Use the steps to determine the ions, and remember to use the crossover rule.
MgCl2 (MgCl_2)
Write the chemical formula of the ionic compound sodium oxide. If your answer contains subscripts, list the number with one underscore in front of it. (Example: Write H2O as H_2O.) Hint: Use the steps to determine the ions, and remember to use the crossover rule.
