Question

The electric charge of magnesium is 2. The electric charge of potassium is 1. Write an inequality that correctly compares the charges.

Answer 1

Answer:

P = charge of potassium

M = charge of magnesium

m>p

Answer 2

The inequality that correctly compares the charges are < 2  or  2 > 1

What is inequality?

A declaration of an order relationship between two numbers or algebraic expressions, such as greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to.

Given

Let's place the two charges on a number line.

Either of the following inequalities will work:

1 < 2  or 1 < 2, is less than, 2 because 1 is to the left of 2.

2 > 1 or  2 > 1, is greater than, 1 because 2 is to the right of 1.

Magnesium's charge is more positive than potassium's charge because 2 is greater than 1.

The correct answers are given below:

1 < 2 1<2, is less than, 2 or 2 > 1 2>1, is greater than, 1

Magnesium's charge is more positive than potassium's charge.
