Combine to make,
MgS
Magnesium sulfide.
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.
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonding between the magnesium cation and the oxygen anion. Ionic bonds form between atoms with a large difference in electronegativity. Therefore, the bonding in magnesium oxide is considered polar.
MgSO4 is magnesium sulphate. The magnesium cation and the sulphate anion combine ionically. However, with in the sulphate anion the four oxygens combine with the sulphur covalently
Magnesium chloride is a compound, not a bond of any kind. The compound is ionic.
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)

It is an ionic and water soluble salt.
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonding between the magnesium cation and the oxygen anion. Ionic bonds form between atoms with a large difference in electronegativity. Therefore, the bonding in magnesium oxide is considered polar.
it is ionic bonding because magnesium is a metal and oxygen is not. ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
MgSO4 is magnesium sulphate. The magnesium cation and the sulphate anion combine ionically. However, with in the sulphate anion the four oxygens combine with the sulphur covalently
Yes, the bond between magnesium and sulfur would be ionic. Magnesium is a metal and sulfur is a non-metal, causing them to form an ionic bond where magnesium loses electrons to sulfur, resulting in the formation of magnesium sulfide.
Magnesium and iodine react to form the ionic compound magnesium iodide - MgI2.
Magnesium chloride is a compound, not a bond of any kind. The compound is ionic.
As an example Magnesium and oxygen have an ionic bond between them to form magnesium oxide. :)
Magnesium hydroxide is an ionic compound, as it is composed of a metal cation (magnesium) and a hydroxide anion (OH-). Ionic compounds typically form when a metal reacts with a non-metal to transfer electrons.
Magnesium oxide has ionic bonds because it is between a Metal (Mg) and a Nonmetal (O) and Magnesium offers 2 of its electrons to Oxygen in order for Oxygen to form a full Octet (8 electrons in the valence).
