Why is the compound magnesium oxide more stable than its separate components magnesium and oxygen?
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
Which type of bond forms when two or more atoms share electrons?
The bond is covalent. If the bond is made by transferring electrons then it is an ionic bond, but if they are sharing the it is covalent.
What happends when two atoms are chemically combined?
you have a chemical bond that is either ionic or covalent or something between the two extremes. Atoms become more stable when they are combined. Valence electron form hybridized orbitals with empty orbitals to form a bond in covalent bonds.
Would an ionic or covalent compound be more conductive in water when dissolved Explain?
An ionic compound dissociated in water is an electrolyte and is of course more conductive..
What is the sharing of electrons between atoms of two or more electrons?
This is called a bond. The two basic and broad versions of bonds are ionic and covalent.
Forming ionic or covalent bonds helps make atoms more?
stable
Are covalent bonds more soluble than ionic bonds?
ionic compounds are more soluble than covalent.
Which bond is most common covalent or ionic?
Covalent bond is more common than ionic bond.
Which bond more stronger covalent bond or ionic bond?
ionic
What is the difference between ionic and covalent?
Covalent compounds are more flammable when compared to ionic compounds.Ionic compounds are more soluble in water than covalent compounds.for more go to: difference between . net
How can you tell if a compound is ionic or covalent?
An ionic substance will typically consist of a metal and a non-metal, such as AgCl. Covalent molecules consist of non-metal atoms, such as CO2 The metallic substance in an ionic bond will donate it's electrons to the non-metal in order for them both to become more stable by having the same electron configuration as their neighboring noble gas. (Have 8 valence electrons.) As the name suggests, covalent bonding involves the sharing of valence electrons to be stable for the same reason as above.
Why is the compound magnesium oxide more stable than its separate components magnesium and oxygen?
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
Is BrCl an ionic or covalent compound?
Yes that is all it contains there for it to be ionic or metallic the bond would have to have a metal for ionic and more than 2 elements for metallic composed of metals
Does fluorine forms ionic or covalent bonds?
Fluorine forms both ionic bonds and covalent bonds, the former being more common.
What are the covalent bonds and ionic bonds?
Ionic Bonds- When a metal and a nonmetal come together and loses or gains an electron. Covalent Bonds- Two nonmetals that share one or more electrons. Both bonds bonds together to form a stable, complete or filled outer shell of 8 valance electrons.
Is a diatomic molecle more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or by an ionic bond?
Covalent.
Is a diatomic molecle more likely to be held together by a covalent bond or by an ionic bond And why?
A covalent bond. Ionic bonds form crystals, not molecules.
