Ionic because in a dot diagram Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and chlorine has 7 valence electrons. With 2 chlorine atoms there are two spots for electrons to jump over because each chlorine atom has room for one more electron and so both of magnesium's valence electrons would jump over to either chlorine. I hope this helped!
MgBr2
No, this compound is an ionic compound formed from the cation,
Mg 2+
and 2 bromine anions,
Br -
to form the ionic compound magnesium bromide.
Magnesium bromide is ionic, because Mg ions (metal) react to form bonds with bromide ions (non-metal).
Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is an ionic compound.
Magnesium bromide is an ionic compound.
Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound.
An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a non-metal. A covalent bond is a bond between two non-metals. Magnesium is a metal and Bromine is a non-metal, which means it is ionically bonded.
It is ionic
No, it is not a covalent bond. It is an Ionic bond.

It is ionic
No, it is not a covalent bond. It is an Ionic bond.
An ionic bond. A typical metal - non-metal compound. Magnesium (Mg) reacts with Bromine (Br2) to form Magnesium Bromide (MgBr2) which has an ionic formula of Mg2+ (Br-)2.
