If it bonds with another nonmetal, it will create a covalent bond. If it bonds with a metal, it will create an ionic bond.
it should be polare covalent
Covalent.
Ionic
The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, Magnesium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
Two - MgCl2
Two
A ionic bond
Covalent. Non-metals tend to share electrons
Magnesium chloride has an ionic bond.
Ionic
This bond is ionic.
It would form a ionic bond due the the Mg2+ and 2Cl-.
Magnesium is an s-block element and it forms only ionic bonds with other elements.
Two - MgCl2
The difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is above 1.7, Magnesium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal.

Magnesium is a group II metal and chlorine is a nonmetal halogen. So,Mg 2+ ( as the cation )and2Cl - ( as the anion )would form the ionic bond,MgCl2
An ionic bond is formed between the magnesium atom and two chlorine atoms. This is evidient by the high melting point of the solid which is 714 degrees Centigrade.
