Is chlorine and magnesium covalent?
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.
What is the correct interpretation of the formula MgF2?
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.
What are the symbols for the ions in magnesium fluoride?
The symbol for the magnesium ion is Mg2+ and the symbol for the fluoride ion is F-.
Does fluorine react with magnesium?
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
What type of bond does magnesium and nitrogen have?
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.
What metal nonmetal or metalloid if for magnesium?
Magnesium is a metal
Is hydrogen fluoride a metal or non metal?
The terms metal and non-metal are usually applied to the elements. Hydrogen fluoride is a covalent gas- it is a chemical compound.
Is magnesium oxide a metal?
No. It is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Magnesium on its own is a metal.
Is magnesium a metal nonmetal or gas?
Metal, I believe.
What are ten examples of reactions between metal and nonmetal?

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.

Is magnesium fluoride an acid base or salt?
Neither, MgCl2 is to be considered a neutral salt.
Is chlorine and magnesium covalent?
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.
