You misunderstand. !!!! Magnesium is an ELEMENT. As an element it exists as atoms in a metallic lattice. When combined with another element e.g. oxygen as magnesium oxide, (MgO), then it is an ionically bonded molecular compound. Mg^(2+) + O^(2-) = MgO(s)
CO is a molecular compound. It consists of a covalent bond between carbon and oxygen atoms.
Ionic bonds are strong, molecular bonds are relatively weak.
