What is the formula for an ionic compound that contains the elements magnesium and chlorine?
Magnesium ions have a 2+ charge, while chloride ions each have 1- charge. In order to cancel out the charges to create a stable, neutral compound, the formula must be MgCl2.
What type of bond between sodium and chlorine?
An ionic bond as there is an actual transfer of electrons between the two elements in the product, Sodium Chloride. Sodium gives away one electron in order to become stable, i.e., get noble gas configuration and chlorine accepts that electron (given away by Sodium) to become stable. Thus, an ionic bond is formed between them.
What is the ionic compound of beryllium and chlorine?
We know that the alkaline earth metal beryllium (Be) and the halogen chlorine (Cl) form the ionic compound beryllium chloride (BeCl2). The equation might look like this:Be + Cl2 => BeCl2
Is Rb F a ionic or covalent bond?
Yes it is an ionic compound. Rubidium(Rb) is the cation with 1+ charge and Fluorine(F) is the anion with 1- charge. They are formed by the donation of one electron from the valence shell of Rubidium to Fluorine and hence they form an ionic bond, which is the electrostatic force of attration between two oppositely charged particles.
Why does an ionic compound conduct an electric current when the compound is melted?
Ionic compounds conduct electric current when they are molten because the constituent ions that form the compound appear when the solid form changes phase into the liquid one. The solid structure of the compound, which is generally a crystalline one, comes apart when it melts, and in a way similar to what it does when that compound dissolved in a solvent. This frees the ions, and their mobility means that they can contribute to the movement of electric current. It's just that simple.
NaCl polar or non polar?
NaCl is an ionic compound, certainly not nonpolar.
C2H4 is it molecular or ionic?
No, this molecule is not ionic. It is composed of all non metal atoms. In order to be ionic, the compound should consist of the following combinations: metal + nonmetal, or metal + polyatomic ion, or 2 polyatomic ions together.

Is copper sulphate a compound?
Yes, it is a compound of copper, and sulfur( sulphur) Hence, Copper sulphate
What is the formula for the ionic compound K plus and I?
The ion for Potassium has a charge of 1+.The ion for Iodine has a charge of 1-.This means that in order to make the overall charge of a unit of a compound of Potassium and Iodine, there must be one atom of Potassium and one atom of Iodine.Therefore, when K+ and I- are bonded, they make the ionic compound of KI.
Is lithium a cation or anion?
Cation because it gives away its valence electrons in order to form an Ionic Compound, ie. LiCl
Is LiOH and molecular or ionic compound?
this is an ionic compound because it involves a reaction between metals and non-metals. The most important thing here is that there is ions involved. The OH- ion hints that this is going to be an ionic equation because it contains a polyatomic ion which only occur in ionic equations. And then we look at the other side, which is Lithium, which we know to be an alkali metal. Since one side of the compound is a metal, and the other side is a polyatomic ion (multiple non-metals put together in order to form an ion that can be involved in an ionic compound) this compound can be called IONIC.
What is the formula for the ionic compounds K and I?
The ion for Potassium has a charge of 1+.The ion for Iodine has a charge of 1-.This means that in order to make the overall charge of a unit of a compound of Potassium and Iodine, there must be one atom of Potassium and one atom of Iodine.Therefore, when K+ and I- are bonded, they make the ionic compound of KI.
Is magnesium oxide ionic or covalent 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).
Which of these lists the different steps of the writing process in the correct order?
In order to state which lists the different steps of the writing process in the correct order the list would have to be provided. There are five steps to the writing process. These steps, in order, are pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing.
How dissolve an ionic solid in water you must first disrupt the ionic bonds holding the ionic lattice together?
in order for an ionic solid to dissolve, the ionic bonds must break through the reaction with water. So yes, what you said is correct. For example a solid NaCl is mixed with water: H20 + NaCl (s) --> Na+ + Cl- + H30+ + OH-
