Magnesium form $\mathrm{Mg}^{2 \prime}$ and not $\mathrm{Mg}$ becausc (1) Magncsium carbonate is insolublc in water. (2) Gcnerally higher oxidation states are prefcrred by metals. (3) Ionic radius of $\mathrm{Mg}$ (II) is smaller than $\mathrm{Mg}$ (I). (4) IIydration cnergy of divalent magnesium ion is higher.
