The formula of magnesium oxide is MgO. State the formula of barium nitrate and barium sulphate, if barium belongs to same group as magnesium.
Solution -
It is provided that formula of magnesium oxide is MgO. This means that valency of Mg is 2.
It is provided that formula of magnesium oxide is MgO. This means that valency of Mg is 2.
It is also provided that barium belongs to same group thus its valency will also be 2.
Clearly ,Barium Nitrate :-Ba(NO3)2
Barium Sulphate :-BaSO4
