What kind of event must occur involving electrons if atoms of two different elements react to form an ionic or molecular compound?
In an ionic compound, the atoms must transfer electrons. In a molecular compound, the atoms must share electrons.
Which elements react with two atoms of sodium to form an ionic compound?
Chlorine
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
Is MgF an ionic compound or a covalent compound?
MgF2 Magnesium, an alkaline earth metal of 2+ ionic charge and two fluorine, a nonmetal, atoms of 1- charge each form a ionic bond
How does a ionic compound form?
An ionic compound forms when atoms of an element of low electronegativity transfer one or more electrons per atom to atoms of an element of high electronegativity. The resulting cations, formed from the atoms of the element of low electronegativity, and anions, formed from the element of high electronegativity, are held together by mutual electrostatic attractions to form the ionic compound.

Chlorine
What two atoms form a iconic bond?
NaCl is an example. It is an ionic compound.
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)

MgF2 Magnesium, an alkaline earth metal of 2+ ionic charge and two fluorine, a nonmetal, atoms of 1- charge each form a ionic bond
What elements would react with two atoms of sodium to form an ionic compound?
sodium

The resulting cations, formed from the atoms of the element of low electronegativity, and anions, formed from the element of high electronegativity, are held together by mutual electrostatic attractions to form the ionic compound.
What is the pairs of atoms of Li and S would you expect to combine chemically to form an ionic compound?
Because lithium form a cation and sulfur an anion the lithium sulfide (Li2S) form an ionic compound, a salt.
Is P4 an ionic compound?
P4 is not a compound, it is an allotrope (form of a pure element) of phosphorus consisting of covalently bonded atoms.
When a bond is formed using electrons from two different atoms?
This can be either an ionic bond forming an ionic compound, or a covalent bond, forming a molecular compound. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, and covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.
What is a compound composed of two oppositely charged atoms called?
A compound composed to two oppositely charged atoms is an ionic compound/salt.
When 2 or more atoms combine chemically they form an?
Chemical compound, which may be molecular or ionic.
