Magnesium chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula Mg Cl 2. It forms hydrates MgCl 2 ·nH 2 O, where n can range from 1 to 12. These salts are colorless or white solids that are highly soluble in water. These compounds and their solutions, both of which occur in nature, have a variety of practical uses.
Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound, which can be electrolysed in a molten state to form magnesium and chlorine gas. The properties of magnesium bromide and magnesium iodide are similar. [citation needed] HMgX (X=Cl,Br,I) can be obtained by reacting the corresponding magnesium halide with magnesium hydride. [3]
Magnesium chlorate refers to inorganic compounds with the chemical formula Mg(ClO 3) 2 (H 2 O) x. The anhydrous (x = 0), dihydrate (x = 2), and hexahydrate (x = 6) are known. These are thermally labile white solids. The hexahydrate has been identified on the Martian surface. [3]
One can subdivide chemical compounds into two main groups: molecules, which includes most organic, polyatomic gases, and organometallic compounds, and nonmolecular species, which includes most purely inorganic compounds. The structures of many reagents are often misunderstood because simplified formulas are presented in reaction schemes whereas ...
With chloride ion, ionic compounds containing the pyramidal GeCl − 3 ion have been characterised, for example [3] With rubidium and caesium chloride compounds, e.g. RbGeCl 3 are produced; these have distorted perovskite structures. [1] Germanium dichloride reacts with tetraethylammonium chloride to give the trichlorogermanate: [4]
Magnesium hydroxychloride [1] is the traditional term for several chemical compounds of magnesium, chlorine, oxygen, and hydrogen whose general formula xMgO·yMgCl 2 ·zH 2 O, for various values of x, y, and z; or, equivalently, Mg x+y (OH) 2x Cl 2y (H 2 O) z−x.
Magnesium oxide (Mg O), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium (see also oxide).It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg 2+ ions and O 2− ions held together by ionic bonding.
Magnesium nitrate refers to inorganic compounds with the formula Mg(NO 3) 2 (H 2 O) x, where x = 6, 2, and 0. All are white solids. [2] The anhydrous material is hygroscopic, quickly forming the hexahydrate upon standing in air. All of the salts are very soluble in both water and ethanol.
