4. Write the charge of each ion. Here are some other examples of dot and cross diagrams for the formation of ions in some ionic compounds – magnesium oxide and calcium chloride.

The process of manufacturing the water batteries indicate that mass production is feasible, given that materials such as magnesium and zinc are abundant in nature. To continue reading, please ...
