Magnesium oxide is ionic.
They are NOT, Mg (metal) and O2 (bi-atomic gas) are elements and not compounds,BUTMagnesium oxide ( Mg=O ) is an ionic compound
Yes: Each magnesium atom transfers its two valence electrons to an oxygen atom to form the ionic compound magnesium oxide.
MgO, because both magnesium and oxygen are most often divalent.
Magnesium chloride is a compound, not a bond of any kind. The compound is ionic.
The answer is in the question. Magnesium is an element, so is oxygen, together they can form MgO, a compound, as compounds are multi atomic structures, like Iron Oxide, another rust just like MgO.
Yes. Magnesium sulfide is an ionic 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).
Magnesium carbonate is an ionic compound.
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
Yes, Magnesium easily forms an ionic compound with chlorine. It is called magnesium chloride, MgCl2
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 Fluoride. It's an ionic compound.
