Magnesium chloride is a chemical compound and is therefore not a metal. It is ionic and is not metallic in its properties.
Non-metal usually refers to elements.
Magnesium Chloride cannot be formed by covalent bonding because there is a metal element. Covalent bonding occurs only when two or more non-metals bond; thus Hydrogen Fluoride would be formed by covalent bonding.
The two elements that make up this compound are magnesium and fluorine. Flourine is a halogen and magnesium is an alkaline earth metal. This makes it an ionic compound, so the name would be magnesium fluoride.
The symbol for the magnesium ion is Mg2+ and the symbol for the fluoride ion is F-.
If fluoride means fluoride salt of a less reactive metal than magnesium:Magnesium + Fluoride ion ----> Magnesium fluorideMg + 2 F - ----> MgF2If fluoride refers to fluorine gas:Magnesium + Fluorine ----> Magnesium fluorideMg + F2 ----> MgF2
Magnesium and nitrogen have an ionic bond. Magnesium, a metal, transfers electrons to nitrogen, a nonmetal, resulting in the formation of magnesium ions and nitride ions.
Magnesium is a metal
The terms metal and non-metal are usually applied to the elements. Hydrogen fluoride is a covalent gas- it is a chemical compound.
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Metal, I believe.
Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.
Magnesium is a metal. It belongs to group 2.
It is a metal.It is a rare earth metal.
It's formula is BeF2 .
Mg is a metal
Neither, MgCl2 is to be considered a neutral salt.
Magnesium Chloride cannot be formed by covalent bonding because there is a metal element. Covalent bonding occurs only when two or more non-metals bond; thus Hydrogen Fluoride would be formed by covalent bonding.
Magnesium, on the far left of the periodic table, is a definite metal. Magnesium, on the far left of the periodic table, is a definite metal.
