Magnesium carbonate, MgCO3, is an ionic compound containing magnesium ions, Mg2+, each with a 2+ charge and carbonate ions, (CO3)2-, each with a 2- charge.
However, the bonding between the carbon and oxygen atoms in the (CO3)2- ion is covalent, and coordinate covalent (dative).

Is zinc acetate a covalent compound?
No. It is ionic compound.
Is MgCl2 covalent?
Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound.
Is magnesium chloride an ionic or covalent bond?
Magnesium chloride is a compound, not a bond of any kind. The compound is ionic.
Is magnesium acetate is a base?
Magnesium acetate in its aqueous state is neutral or slightly acid.
What is the chemical formula for magnesium acetate?
The formula for Magnesium acetate is Mg(CH3COO)2.
Is lithium acetate a ionic compound or a covalent compound?
Lithium acetate (CH3COOLi) is an ionic compound.
Is zinc acetate a covalent compound?
No. It is ionic compound.
What is the given name for Mg(C2H302)?
This compound is magnesium acetate.
Is MgCl2 covalent?
Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound.
Is magnesium chloride an ionic or covalent bond?
Magnesium chloride is a compound, not a bond of any kind. The compound is ionic.
Is magnesium acetate a calcium compound?
No. In order to be a calcium compound, it must have calcium in it. Magnesium Acetate is made up of magnesium, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Acetate is an ion with the chemical formula, C2H2O2 (technically CH2COO- due to the fact that it's a carboxylate), two carbon, two hydrogen and two oxygen atoms. So no, there is no calcium atoms present.
Is magnesium oxid a covalent compound?
MgO is an ionic white solid.
Is chlorine and magnesium covalent?
Magnesium Chloride cannot be formed by covalent bonding because there is a metal element. Covalent bonding occurs only when two or more non-metals bond; thus Hydrogen Fluoride would be formed by covalent bonding.
Is CaC2H3O22 ionic or covalent?
of course it is ionic what else could it be?
What is the chemical formula for magnesium acetate?
The formula for Magnesium acetate is Mg(CH3COO)2.
Is magnesium acetate is a base?
Magnesium acetate in its aqueous state is neutral or slightly acid.
Does Sodium acetate contain ionic and covalent bonds?
Yes, it contains both. The sodium forms an ionic bond with the one oxygen with a single bond (not double) with the carbon, becoming the cation (positive charge). This oxygen and all other atoms in the acetate form covalent bonds.
