What elements does magnesium like to bond to?
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.
What bond will Magnesium and Oxygen form?
An ionic bond
The bond formed when Magnesium combines with oxygen is?
ionic bond
Is the bond between magnesium and oxygen a ionic or convalent?
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
What are more likely to form an ionic bond a silicon and oxygen b oxygen and oxygen c carbon and hydrogen d magnesium and oxygen?
Magnesium and oxygen as in magnesium oxide
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
When an atom of magnesium forms an ionic bond with an atom of oxygen which will gain electrons?
Magnesium has a charge of 2+ and oxygen 2- Magnesium will lose the two "extra electrons" in its valence shell when creating an ionic bond with oxygen. The oxygen will gain these two electrons.
Can you use the word ionic bond in a sentence?
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
What kind of a bond happens between a magnesium electron and an oxygen atom?
Covalent bond
What happens when a ionic bond forms between magnesium with an atomic number of 12 and oxygen with an atomic number of 8?
Two electrons are trasfered from magnesium to oxygen and ionic bond is formed.
What is the correct name for magnesium and oxygen?
The compound formed by magnesium and oxygen is called magnesium oxide.
How can a magnesium atom bond with oxygen atom?
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.
