Magnesium carbonate valency |
|
Answer» Answer: VALENCY means ABILITY of atom/element to lose, gain or shared electrons. In case of MgCO3, MG (z=12) tends to lose its two valence electrons so its valency becomes 2 and CO3 has ability to gain two electrons so its valency becomes also 2. So overall valency of Mg and CO3 which are present in the FORM MgCO3, is 2. |
