The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between magnesium (Mg) and fluorine (F2) to form magnesium fluoride (MgF2) is:
Mg + F2 → MgF2
To balance the equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms on both sides is equal. Counting the number of atoms for each element:
Mg: 1 on both sides
F: 2 on the left side and 2 on the right side
Therefore, the balanced equation is:
1 Mg + 1 F2 → 1 MgF2
So, the answer is B. 1:1:1.
