Ionic bonds are formed when a Cation (loss of some # of e- makes it positive) and and Anion (gain of e- makes it negative) transfer electrons to/from each other in order to form a more stable compound. They will gain/lose e- in order to have full valence shells.

Metallic bonding is different because there is an "Electron Sea" where electrons can float from one atom to another, thus allowing metals to conduct electricity.

Are magnesium and chlorine most likely to form a metallic bond?

No, magnesium and chlorine are most likely to form an ionic bond rather than a metallic bond. In an ionic bond, magnesium will donate electrons to chlorine, resulting in the formation of magnesium chloride, a compound with a bond between a metal and a nonmetal.

Is iron nail ionic or covalent bond?

Iron nail contains metallic bonding, which is different from ionic or covalent bonding. In metallic bonding, electrons are shared among all the metal atoms, creating a "sea of electrons" that hold the metal atoms together.


Is lead bromide a metallic bond?

No, lead bromide does not have a metallic bond. Lead bromide is an ionic compound composed of lead cations and bromide anions held together by ionic bonds. Metallic bonding occurs in metals where electrons are free to move throughout the structure, leading to properties like conductivity.


Do alloys form an ionic bond or a metallic bond?

Alloys form a metallic bond. In a metallic bond, atoms within the alloy share electrons freely, creating a "sea of electrons" that allows for electrical conductivity and malleability. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between atoms, which is not the case in alloys.
