There is no such thing as MgC12.
However, there is a such thing as MgCl2 (with a lowercase letter L).
It is an ionic compound.
Br2 is a covalent compound. It consists of two bromine atoms sharing electrons to form a covalent bond.
The opposite of an ionic bond is a covalent bond. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, while in a covalent bond, electrons are shared between atoms.
No, Al-Cl is an ionic bond, not a covalent bond.
AiPO is likely to have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the metal ion "A" and the phosphate ion is likely to be ionic, while the bonds within the phosphate group are covalent.
PBO (lead(II) oxide) contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lead and oxygen is predominantly ionic due to the electronegativity difference, while the oxygen-oxygen bond is covalent.
covalent
NO is covalent.
NO is covalent.
The bond is covalent.
The covalent bond is weaker.
The F-F bond (in F2) is covalent, and non polar covalent at that.
No, it is ionic
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.
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
Magnesium chloride has an ionic bond.
Covalent is were two atoms share electrons. The analogy is linking arms with the next person. e.g. A hydrogen molecule is bonded ' H : H '. The two dots (colon) represents each hydrogen atom sharing its one electron with its partner atom. Ionic is were two ions of opposite charge are attracted to each other. The analogy is the North and South poles of a magnet. e.g. A sodium chloride molecule is bonded ' Na^(+)Cl^(-) ' the +/- represent the opposite charged ions of equal size. The sodium atom ionises by losing one electron to become the sodium cation Na(s) = Na^(+) + e^(-) By electron affinity the electron ' e^(-) ' is attracted to the chlorine atom, to form the chloride anion. Cl(g) + e^(-) = Cl^(-) NB When atoms loose or gain charge they are IONS ; NOT atoms.
intramolecular: covalent bond intermolecular: dipole-dipole interaction (smaller version of ionic bond)
