Question of The Day24-08-2023

Chemical formula of magnesium oxide is _______.

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) MgO

Explanation :

Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral that occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium.

It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg²⁺ ions and O²⁻ions held together by ionic bonding.

Magnesium hydroxide forms in the presence of water (MgO + H2O → Mg (OH)₂), but it can be reversed by heating it to remove moisture.

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
