This question looks at the reaction:
Magnesium + Oxygen goes to Magnesium Oxide
Mg + O --> MgO
The first step is to calculate the moles of MgO produced using the mass in the question and...

When this reaction occurs, strong ionic bonds form between two oppositely charged particles (ions). 

Magnesium is a group II metal, and therefore has two electrons in it's highest energy ...

The first thing to do with this titration calculation is write the balanced symbol equation for the reaction. Using the knowlege that when an acid and base react a salt and water is produced we can wri...

Copper, like all metals, is a conducter of electricity. Copper is particularly effective because of the way its electrons are arranged allows for more free movement of electrons which allows for more e...

An ion is a charged particle. 

They are made when an atom of neutral charge accepts or donates an electron from another atom or ion in order to bond with one another.
