The correct chemical formula for magnesium chlorate is Mg(ClO3)2.
This is because magnesium has a +2 charge and chlorate has a -1 charge. To balance the charges, you need two chlorate ions to balance one magnesium ion.
Write the chemical formula of the ionic compound magnesium chlorate. The magnesium (Mg) ion has a +2 charge. Chlorate (ClO3) has a -1 charge. (1 point)
O Mg2(ClO3)
○ Mg2 (ClO4)
