What terms best describes the type of bonding in magnesium chloride?

Ionic bonding best describes the type of bonding in magnesium chloride. In this type of bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom (magnesium) to another atom (chlorine) resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions that are then attracted to each other to form a stable compound.


What best describes the arrangement of electrons in a metallic bond?

A sea of electrons. This is a very good description of the bonding in group 1 group 2 metals. A more advanced view for transition metals calls the sea of electrons an "sp electron gas" alongside covalent bonding involving d electrons. This accounts for the melting point trends in transition metals


Do metalic bonds dissolve in water?

Metallic bonds do not dissolve in water because they are strong bonds formed between metal atoms, while water dissolves compounds through interactions like hydrogen bonding or ion-dipole interactions. Metallic bonds are not broken by water, so metals typically do not dissolve in water.


What best glue to use to bonding ceramic to metal?

A high-quality epoxy adhesive designed specifically for bonding ceramic to metal would be the best choice. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.


What statement best describes a weak acid?

A weak acid is an acid that only partially dissociates in solution, resulting in a small concentration of hydronium ions. This leads to a lower acidity compared to strong acids and a higher pH.
