Is magnesium and sulfur likely to form an ionic bond yes or no?

Yes. Sulfur is a non-metal and magnesium is a metal, hence it suits the condition to form ionic bonds between these two elements with the formula MgS, magnesium sulfide.


Under what condition ionic coumpounds conduct a current?

Ionic compounds conduct electricity when they are in their molten state or when they are dissolved in water, as this allows their ions to freely move and carry electric charge. In these states, the ions are mobile and can carry an electric current.


An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would form which type of bond?

An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would likely form an ionic bond by losing that electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of a positively charged ion.

Which bond has the most ionic character?

Probably Francium Fluoride ( FrF). However, you will NOT find this substance in an open lab. because Francium (Fr) is radio-active. The first ionisation energy of francium is very low. and the 1st electron affinity of fluorine is very high . So they will ionically bond very readily.
