What pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound Mg and F or O and Cl?
magnesium and fluorine will formthe ionic compound, MgF2
How do the elements magnesium and fluorine produce the compound magnesium fluoride is by what?
Magnesium and fluorine will produce magnesium fluoride by ionic bonding.
What kind of compound do magnesium and fluorine make?
MgF2, an ionic salt
What element with fluorine would make an ionic compound?
Any metallic element will form an ionic compound with fluorine. ("Flourine" is not a chemical name!) Examples of metals are sodium, magnesium, lanthanum, and iron.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine?
no
What element is most likely to form an ionic compound with Ba?
Fluorine
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and lithium?
yes
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and carbon?
Carbon forms covalent bonds with fluorine.
Is MgF an ionic compound or a covalent compound?
MgF2 Magnesium, an alkaline earth metal of 2+ ionic charge and two fluorine, a nonmetal, atoms of 1- charge each form a ionic bond
Is magnesium hydroxide ionic or molecular?
Because magnesium has a low electronegativity and chlorine has a high electronegativity, magnesium tends to lose an electron and chlorine tends to gain an electron when these substances react. This results in the formation of magnesium and chloride ions. Thus, magnesium chloride is ionic.
When magnesium (Mg2 ) and fluorine (F1-) combine in an ionic bond the resulting formula will be?
Mg2F
Predict the empirical formula of the ionic compound that forms from magnesium and fluorine?
Magnesium usually forms divalent cations and fluorine usually forms monovalent anions. Therefore, the predicted empirical formula is MgF2.
