Is MgBr2 covalent or ionic bond?

Answer 1

Ionic because in a dot diagram Magnesium has 2 valence electrons and chlorine has 7 valence electrons. With 2 chlorine atoms there are two spots for electrons to jump over because each chlorine atom has room for one more electron and so both of magnesium's valence electrons would jump over to either chlorine. I hope this helped!

Answer 2

MgBr2

No, this compound is an ionic compound formed from the cation,

Mg 2+

and 2 bromine anions,

Br -

to form the ionic compound magnesium bromide.

Answer 3

Magnesium bromide is ionic, because Mg ions (metal) react to form bonds with bromide ions (non-metal).

Answer 4

Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is an ionic compound.

Answer 5

Magnesium bromide is an ionic compound.

Answer 6

Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound.
