Magnesium Sulfide Formula


           


            

Today we are going to know how to write the chemical formula of magnesium sulfide.

                       Step-1:

Magnesium sulfide is composed of Mg2+ cation and S2- sulfide anion.The oxidation number of magnesium is +2 and the oxidation number of sulpur is 2-





Step-2:

Now put these two ions side by side.

Mg2+S2-



Step-3


Now balance the positive and negative charge.Here the charge of magnesium is +2 and the change of sulfur is 2-.So we have nothing to balance about charge.So the formula for magnesium sulfide is given below:

MgS
