Want this question answered?
ionic bond
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
They are NOT, Mg (metal) and O2 (bi-atomic gas) are elements and not compounds,BUTMagnesium oxide ( Mg=O ) is an ionic compound
MgCl2
Magnesium is a metal and Oxygen is a non-metal. Therefore, the bond between the two, MgO, is an ionic bond.
it is ionic bonding because magnesium is a metal and oxygen is not. ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
Two electrons are trasfered from magnesium to oxygen and ionic bond is formed.
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
The ionic compound formed between magnesium and chlorine has the formula MgCl2.
ionic bond
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).
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
Magnesium oxide is ionic.
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
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
by perfectly equal sharing of electrons
They are NOT, Mg (metal) and O2 (bi-atomic gas) are elements and not compounds,BUTMagnesium oxide ( Mg=O ) is an ionic compound
