Best Answer

Magnesium itself is held together by metallic bonds, which are neither ionic nor covalent. Its compounds would tend to have ionic bonds.

What type of bond does magnesium and chlorine have?

If it bonds with another nonmetal, it will create a covalent bond. If it bonds with a metal, it will create an ionic bond.


Does magnesium nitride have a ionic or covalent bond?

In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.
