The correct chemical formula for the ionic compound magnesium compound, given that magnesium ion (Mg) has a +2 charge and chlorate ion (ClO3) has a -1 charge, is:
Mg(ClO3)2
To write the chemical formula of an ionic compound, we need to balance the charges of the ions involved.
In this case, magnesium (Mg) has a charge of +2, and chlorate (CIO3) has a charge of -1. The charges must balance out to yield a neutral compound.
Since the charge of Mg is +2, we need two chlorate ions (CIO3) with a total charge of -2 to balance the magnesium ion's charge.
Therefore, the correct chemical formula for the ionic compound magnesium compound is:
Mg(CIO3)2
