What happens when a ionic bond forms between magnesium with an atomic number of 12 and oxygen with an atomic number of 8?
Two electrons are trasfered from magnesium to oxygen and ionic bond is formed.
Is magnesium oxide ionic or covalent compound?
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds because it is between a Metal (Mg) and a Nonmetal (O) and Magnesium offers 2 of its electrons to Oxygen in order for Oxygen to form a full Octet (8 electrons in the valence).
Why is the compound magnesium oxide more stable than its separate components magnesium and oxygen?
Because its ionic bonds between magnesium and oxygen are stronger and more stable than the metallic bonds between magnesium and the covalent bonds between oxygen
What is the ionic bond Magnesium and Iodine?
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
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

The ionic compound formed between magnesium and chlorine has the formula MgCl2.
The bond formed when Magnesium combines with oxygen is?
ionic bond
Is magnesium oxide ionic or covalent compound?
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds because it is between a Metal (Mg) and a Nonmetal (O) and Magnesium offers 2 of its electrons to Oxygen in order for Oxygen to form a full Octet (8 electrons in the valence).
Can you use the word ionic bond in a sentence?
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
Is oxygen and magnesium is an ionic compound?
Magnesium oxide is ionic.
Why is the compound magnesium oxide more stable than its separate components magnesium and oxygen?
Because its ionic bonds between magnesium and oxygen are stronger and more stable than the metallic bonds between magnesium and the covalent bonds between oxygen
What is the ionic bond Magnesium and Iodine?
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
How is ionic bond is formed between Magnesium chloride?
by perfectly equal sharing of electrons
Is oxygen and magnesium and ionic compound?
They are NOT, Mg (metal) and O2 (bi-atomic gas) are elements and not compounds,BUTMagnesium oxide ( Mg=O ) is an ionic compound
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
