Is magnesium sulfide a ionic or covalent compound?
It depends on the rule you use to classify it. Magnesium Sulfide is ionic, if using the metal-nonmetal rule. It is polar covalent, if using the 1.7 electronegativity difference rule. Both these rules are generalizations.
Does Magnesium oxide have ionic or covalent bond or has it polar or non-polar bonding?
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds between magnesium and oxide ions.
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. :)
Is magnesium and bromine ionic?
MgBr2 magnesium bromide is ionic
Is magnesium hydroxide ionic or molecular?
Because magnesium has a low electronegativity and chlorine has a high electronegativity, magnesium tends to lose an electron and chlorine tends to gain an electron when these substances react. This results in the formation of magnesium and chloride ions. Thus, magnesium chloride is ionic.

What are the properties expected of the chloride of magnesium?
It is an ionic and water soluble salt.
Is the bond between magnesium and oxygen a ionic or convalent?
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
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
What is the formula of the ionic compound formed between magnesium and chlorine?
The ionic compound formed between magnesium and chlorine has the formula MgCl2.
What is the ionic bond Magnesium and Iodine?
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
Does Magnesium oxide have ionic or covalent bond or has it polar or non-polar bonding?
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds between magnesium and oxide ions.

What type of bond is between magnesium and chlorine?
Ionic
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).
