From: A first-principles analysis of the charge transfer in magnesium corrosion

Characteristic images of the reaction pathway of a dissolving magnesium ion. Only the first solvation shell of the Mg ion is illustrated. Values for the relative energies \(\Delta E\) and Bader charges \(\mathrm {e}_{\mathrm{Mg}}\) are depicted in the upper left corner of each image. The atoms are colored according to their respective Bader charges.
