How to tell if a bond is ionic or covalent?
if you have a metal and non metal bonding it's an ionic bond and if it's two non metals it would be a covalent bond.
What kind of bond is Na plus I2?
The bond formed between the two is an Ionic bond. You can tell by using the difference in the elements electronegative, or just know the general trend that a metal and nonmetal form an ionic bond.
How can you tell that ionic bonding will placebetween metals and non metals?
Most of the time the bond between a metal and a nonmetal is ionic. However, there are some exceptions, such as BeCl2, which is covalent. The difference in electronegativity determines what kind of bond will form. Metals and nonmetals with a difference in electronegativity of >1.6 are considered to have an ionic bond.
What do oxidation numbers tell us?
The oxidation number now tells you how many more or less electrons the atom has.
What does the positive or negative oxidation number tell you about an ion?
It describes the ion. If it is negative it is an anion.

How can you tell an ionic bond is formed between magnesium and oxygen?
it is ionic bonding because magnesium is a metal and oxygen is not. ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
By seeing a chemical formulae how to tell which bond is existing in that?
H2o is having hydrogen bond but h+ and oh- also we are indicating why we can't say are ionic bond?
What does roman numeral tell you in an ionic bond?
The Roman numeral tells you the number of electrons a polyvalent cation (usually a transition metal) gives up to participate in the ionic bond. Example: "Iron (III) oxide" means the iron is giving up 3 electrons to form the compound Fe2O3.

Why do roman numerals used for ionic compounds?
They are used to tell you which oxidation state the particular metal has when bonding to the non-metal. This is only done when the oxidation state can be more than one value.
What do oxidation numbers tell us?
The oxidation number now tells you how many more or less electrons the atom has.
What does the oxidation number of an element tell you?
The oxidation number tells you the "combining power" of that element. For example, if Cu has a 1+ oxidation number then it will combine with Cl in a 1:1 ratio, and result in CuCl. If Cu has an oxidation number of 2+, then it will combine with Cl in a 1:2 ratio, and result in CuCl2.
What does the positive or negative oxidation number tell you about an ion?
It describes the ion. If it is negative it is an anion.
What is the boiling point of an ionic bond?
Chemicals have boiling points, bonds do not. But let us say, you are asking what the boiling point is of a chemical that has an ionic bond. Again, not all ionic type chemicals (which are generally called salts) have the same boiling point. I can, however, tell you that the boiling point of a salt tends to be very high, in the thousands of degrees.
What does the ( ) or (-) oxidation number tell you about an ion?
Its electric charge polarity. If (+) it is missing electrons, if (-) it has extra electrons.
