The forward slipping movement of the body of one of the lower lumbar vertebrae on the vertebra or sacrum below it. spondylosis A degenerative disorder that can cause the loss of normal spinal structure and function.
The formula is MgâPâ. This is a reaction between a metal and a nonmetal. The product will be the ionic compound, magnesium nitride. Step 1. Identify the atomic symbols of the cation and anion. Magnesium is Mg and phosphide is P. Step 2. Identify the charge on each ion and place it on each symbol. Mg is in Group 2, so we write MgÂ²âº. P is in Group 15, so it needs 3 electrons to complete its octet.
A chemical formula is a representation of the elements in a molecule. Although the word formula connotes an equation, chemical formula are not to be confused with chemical equations, which describe multiple molecules at once.olecular Formula. The molecular chemical formula uses subscripts to count the number of elements in a molecule, e.g. H2O, where the 2 is a subscript. One variant is to clump element symbols together in the order they appear in the molecule, e.g. CH3-O-CH3 or CH3OCH3, instead of C2H6O.
