Options
- ANH 3
- BMg ( OH ) 2
- CMgO
- DNO
Correct answer
B. Mg ( OH ) 2
Step-by-step solution
In air, oxygen and nitrogen gases are present with which magnesium reacts and the reaction takes place as below: Mg s   +   Air   →   MgO   +   Mg 3 N 2                                                               A                       B B reacts with water to form magne
