Yes. If it bonds with a metal, such as magnesium, an ionic bond is formed. However, it can just as easily form covalent compounds with non-metallic elements like nitrogen.

Is PBO ionic or covalent bond?

PBO (lead(II) oxide) contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lead and oxygen is predominantly ionic due to the electronegativity difference, while the oxygen-oxygen bond is covalent.


Does oxygen and nitrogen form an ionic bond?

No, oxygen and nitrogen do not form an ionic bond. They are both nonmetals and tend to form covalent bonds where they share electrons rather than transfer them.


The type of bond oxygen tends to make ionic or covalent?

BOTH


Can Carbon and oxygen form an ionic bond?

No, carbon and oxygen typically do not form an ionic bond. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals that tend to form covalent bonds rather than ionic bonds. In an ionic bond, electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, the electrons are shared.


What kind of banding is the water is it ionic or covalent?

It is a covalent bond because both hydrogen and oxygen are nonmetals, and whenever nonmetals bond, it's always covalent.


Is OH a covalent or Ionic bond?

OH is a covalent bond. In this case, oxygen and hydrogen share electrons to form a stable molecule.


Which compounds have both a covalent and ionic bond?

Many compounds have both covalent and ionic bonds. For example, soaps are made of a carboxylic acid salt with sodium; the carbon chain is covalent, but the bond between the sodium and the oxygen is ionic.


Can a molecule be held together by both a covalent bond and ionic bond?

I think so. Here covalent and there ionic.


Is baking soda a covalent ot ionic bond?

Baking soda contains both covalent and ionic bonds. The bond between sodium and bicarbonate ions is ionic because there is a transfer of electrons, while the bond between carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in the bicarbonate ion is covalent because they share electrons.


Is FeSO4 a ionic or covalent bond?

It is ionic


Is LiCH3COO an ionic or covalent bond?

LiCH3COO contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lithium (Li) and acetate ion (CH3COO) is ionic, while the bonds within the acetate ion itself (between carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms) are covalent.


Is N2O3 ionic or covalent bond?

N2O3 has both ionic and covalent characteristics. The bond between nitrogen and oxygen is mainly covalent since they share electrons, while the overall structure of the compound exhibits some ionic character due to the nitrogen having a formal positive charge.
