Magnesium and bromine form an ionic bond.
An ionic bond
No. Calcium and sulfur will form an ionic bond.
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
Ionic
Yes. Sulfur is a non-metal and magnesium is a metal, hence it suits the condition to form ionic bonds between these two elements with the formula MgS, magnesium sulfide.
3. magnesium and sulfur
Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
Magnesium and bromine form an ionic bond.

No. Calcium and sulfur will form an ionic bond.
This bond is ionic.
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
Magnesium will form a positive ion during ionic bonding. Sulfur will form a negative ion during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
