Are magnesium and fluorine ionic compounds?
An ionic bond is formed when a metal and a non-metal react. Electrons are transferred during this process. Magnesium is a metal and Fluorine is not. So, it forms an ionic bond. I don't believe there is such thing as a diatomic bond, only diatomic molecules which are 2 atoms of an element (O2, N2, etc) Metallic bonds are formed between metals. And in covalent compounds the atoms share the valence electrons.
Ions form when what is transferred between atoms?
Electrons
What is formed when electrons are transfered between atom?
An ionic bond forms when electrons are transferred between atoms.
When electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed.?
When electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed is known as an ionic bond.
Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and oxygen has 6 valence electrons what type of bonding is likely to occur between a magnesium atom and an oxygen atom?
Ionic
Is the bond between magnesium and oxygen a ionic or convalent?
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.

The electrons in the bond between hydrogen and fluorine are more strongly attracted to which atom?
They are more strongly attracted to the fluorine. We say that fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen.
What is reaction in which electrons are transferred between atoms?
When electrons are transferred in a reaction, it is referred to oxidation/reduction or redox.
What kind of bond forms between a fluorine atom and a magnesium atom?
Ionic
Is HF molecular or ionic?
HF is molecular (aka covalent) because it is a bond between two nonmetals in which electrons are shared. In the HF bond, Fluorine has six valence electrons and shares two electrons with Hydrogen. Hydrogen only has these two electrons because it only has a max of two electrons on its outer valence shell. Fluorine has an electronegativity of 4.0 (the highest on the Periodic Table), which is greater than Hydrogen's 2.2, so therefore Fluorine would be considered slightly negative in the bond, and Hydrogen would be slightly positive.It is not ionic because in an ionic bond, electrons are not shared, they are transferred.
Do ionic compounds share electrons?
No they do not, electrons are transferred between atoms
How many electrons are transferred in the ionic bond between Calcium and Oxygen?
Two electrons are transferred between calcium and oxygen to form calcium oxide.
What is the interactive force between particles in magnesium Fluorine?
Magnesium fluoride, MgF2 is held together by ionic bonding between the positively charged magnesium ion and the negatively charged fluoride ions.
