Question

step 3 and 4
electron transfer of the compounds
na + cl
mg + cl

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the formula for Na + Cl

Sodium (Na) has a +1 charge and chlorine (Cl) has a -1 charge. Using the criss - cross method (swap the magnitudes of the charges), the formula is \(NaCl\).

Step2: Name the compound \(NaCl\)

It is an ionic compound. The name is sodium chloride.

Step3: Determine the formula for Mg + Cl

Magnesium (Mg) has a +2 charge and chlorine (Cl) has a -1 charge. Using the criss - cross method, the formula is \(MgCl_{2}\).

Step4: Name the compound \(MgCl_{2}\)

It is an ionic compound. The name is magnesium chloride.

Answer:

Electron transfer of the Compounds	Formula	Name
\(Mg + Cl\)	\(MgCl_{2}\)	magnesium chloride
