A ionic bond
An ionic bond
Covalent bond
Nitrogen and bromine will form a covalent bond; they are both nonmetals.
In an ionic bond, one of the elements is a metal, the other a non metal. Sodium is underneath the classification of "alkali metals", whilst Nitrogen is a non metal. Therefore, the bond between these two elements is ionic. The formula would be Na3N. Thanks. Very helpful.
Magnesium can bond with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. Magnesium can also bond with chloride and that will create magnesium dichloride.
An ionic bond
An ionic bond will form because the cation (Mg) is a metal and the anion (N) is a nonmetal. The chemical formula for magnesium nitride would be Mg3N2.
This bond is covalent.
Magnesium chloride has an ionic bond.
Magnesium and bromine form an ionic bond.
Aside from 'The Covalent Bond' type, Magnesium will act chemically like Calcium will.
Magnesium and sulfur are much more likely than nitrogen and oxygen to form an ionic bond, because the difference in electronegativity between sulfur and magnesium is much greater than the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and oxygen. Another way of phrasing the reason is that magnesium is a metal and sulfur a nonmetal, while nitrogen and oxygen are both nonmetals.
Magnesium chloride has ionic bonds.
Covalent bond
Magnesium burns in the presence of sulfur dioxide because, the oxygen in the sulfur dioxide is able to bond with magnesium and produce an oxide.
covalent bond in NH3
Nitrogen and bromine will form a covalent bond; they are both nonmetals.
