ionic bond
An ionic bond
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
Magnesium is a metal and Oxygen is a non-metal. Therefore, the bond between the two, MgO, is an ionic bond.
Double covalent bond: one sigma- and one pi-bond.
It would be a metallic bond as both isotopes are relatively strong metals.
it is ionic bonding because magnesium is a metal and oxygen is not. ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
Two electrons are trasfered from magnesium to oxygen and ionic bond is formed.
magnesium oxide
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.
Magnesium chloride has an ionic bond.
An ionic bond
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
Magnesium and oxygen as in magnesium oxide
A hydrogen bond combines oxygen and hydrogen in the H2O molecule also known as water.
Magnesium has a charge of 2+ and oxygen 2- Magnesium will lose the two "extra electrons" in its valence shell when creating an ionic bond with oxygen. The oxygen will gain these two electrons.
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
