Is magnesium sulfide a ionic or covalent compound?

It depends on the rule you use to classify it. Magnesium Sulfide is ionic, if using the metal-nonmetal rule. It is polar covalent, if using the 1.7 electronegativity difference rule. Both these rules are generalizations.


What is a rule for predicting whether or not a bond will be ionic?

If the difference in electronegativity between the elements is greater than 2 then the bond will be ionic, if its between 1.6 and 2 then it will be ionic if one of the elements is a metal.


How do you name binary ionic compound?

Rule 1. The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name.Rule 2. The name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium").Rule 3. The anion is named by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., I- = "iodide").


How does the rule of zero charge help ypu predict the formula of an ionic?

The rule of zero helps you predict the formula of an ionic compound because the anion will always want to bond with a action to get zero net charge on the compound.


How does the rule zero charge help you predict the formula of an ionic compound?

The rule of zero charge helps you predict the formula of an ionic compound because you know that what anion is present, the action that bonds will make the net charge zero.

What is the simplest rule being used in determining whether the bond between two atoms is ionic or covalent?

Simplest rule: metal + non-metal gives an ionic bond Next simplest: electronegativity difference greater than say 1.7 Remember rule 1 "In inorganic chemistry there are exceptions to every rule even this one"


Is C2H5OH molecular or ionic?

This is Ammonium acetate and it's an ionic compound. The first element in an Ionic compound's formula is usually a metal because ionic compounds consist of a cation and an anion binding. The only common exception to this rule is is ammonium. Not only is it ionic but its a polyatomic ionic compound.
