An ionic bond
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
Magnesium and bromine form an ionic bond.
ionic bond
Magnesium is the metal which reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide.
Magnesium reacts with oxygen to create magnesium oxide. Magnesium(Mg)+Oxygen(O2)--------> magnesium oxide(MgO) 2Mg+O2 ------>2 MgO
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.
Magnesium and oxygen as in magnesium oxide
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
it is ionic bonding because magnesium is a metal and oxygen is not. ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
A ionic bond will form. Magnesium will lose two electrons and the two chlorine atoms will pick up one atom each. It will become magnesium dichloride (MgCl2). I believe that a polar - covalent bond will form. .3 to1.7 difference in electronegativity is polar covalent. and when you subtract the electronegativity of the two elements you get .5 and that falls in the polar covalent area.
Yes: Each magnesium atom transfers its two valence electrons to an oxygen atom to form the ionic compound magnesium oxide.
magnesium oxide
The magnesium has 2 valence electron while the oxygen misses 2 electron to complete its octet. An atom is always more stable when it has 8 valence electrons. The magnesium will create an ionic bond with the oxygen by giving its 2 electrons to form Magnesium Oxide, MgO.
Magnesium and bromine form an ionic bond.
Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
ionic bond
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
