Question

Complete the following table:

Acid radicals $\to$ Basic radicals $↓$	Chloride	Nitrate	Sulphate	Carbonate	Hydroxide	Phosphate
Magnesium	${MgCl}_{2}$	$Mg {({NO}_{3})}_{2}$	${MgSO}_{4}$	${MgCO}_{3}$	$Mg {(OH)}_{2}$	${Mg}_{3} {({PO}_{4})}_{2}$
Sodium
Zinc
Silver
Ammonium
Calcium
Iron $(II)$
Potassium

Accepted Answer

While writing a chemical formula, the positive radical is written first followed by the negative radical by interchanging their valences.

Acid radicals $\to$

Basic radicals $↓$
Chloride Nitrate Sulphate Carbonate Hydroxide Phosphate

Magnesium ${MgCl}_{2}$ $Mg {({NO}_{3})}_{2}$ ${MgSO}_{4}$ ${MgCO}_{3}$ $Mg {(OH)}_{2}$ ${Mg}_{3} {({PO}_{4})}_{2}$
