Why is MgCl2 named magnesium chloride and not magnesium dichloride?
- Because MgCl2 is a molecular compound, and molecular compounds do not use prefixes in their names.
- Because MgCl2 is an ionic compound, and ionic compounds do not use prefixes in their names.
- Because MgCl2 contains two metals and, therefore, follows different nomenclature rules.
