Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy. The word comes from Ancient Greek syn (ÏÏÎ½) (with) and onoma (á½Î½Î¿Î¼Î±) (name).
One magnesium atom and two chlorine atoms react to form one unit of magnesium chloride. This is because the magnesium atom has an oxidation number of -2 and each chlorine atom â¦ has an oxidation number of +1. 3 people found this useful.Answered.In Elements and Compounds.he formula unit for magnesium hydroxide is Mg(OH)2. This shows that in each formula unit there are two oxygen atoms, two hydrogen atoms, and one magnesium atom for a total of â¦ five atoms altogether. 5 people found this useful.
Magnesium. The number of protons in an element is always the same as the atomic number, which is 12 in this case. In a neutral atom (no charge), the number of electrons equals the number of protons, so it will be 12 electrons also. However, the number of neutrons will vary depending on the isotope (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons). There are three isotopes of Magnesium, 24Mg, 25Mg, 26Mg, having 12, 13, and 14 neutrons respectively (12 is the most abundant).
