Why would a compound between sodium and magnesium be unlikely to form?

∙ 11y ago
Sodium and magnesium are both metals and have only 3 valence shell electrons between them. As first and 2d row elements they " strive " for the octet and it is difficult to see how either could achieve that.
What is possible is an alloy a solid solution between them held together by metallic bonds. These have been made but I don't knw if they have found any applcation.

Compound formed between sodium and selenium?
The compound formed between sodium and selenium is named "sodium selenide" and has the formula Na2Se.
What compound is formed when beryllium and sodium are combined?
No binary compound between beryllium and sodium.
Does sodium and magnesium form an ionic compound?
No it forms Mg2+, a positive ion, as it is in group 2.
What compound is formed between sodium and fluorine?
Sodium and fluorine will form an ionic compound named sodium fluoride with the formula NaF.
What happens in the reaction between sodium hydroxide and magnesium sulphate?
you get a precipitate.
How are sodium chloride and Epsom salt different?
Sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chlorine. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4 · 7H2O), a compound of magnesium, sulfur, and oxygen with water trapped in the crystal structure.
Do sodium and magnesium form an ionic compound?
No: Sodium and magnesium are both quite active metals and do not form any compound with each other, although they might conceivably for a metallically bonded alloy.
What is compound formed between sodium and selenium?
Sodium selenide is a compound formed between sodium and selenium.
Compound formed between sodium and selenium?
The compound formed between sodium and selenium is named "sodium selenide" and has the formula Na2Se.
What is an ionic compound consisting of a cation with 10 electrons and an oxyanion with 26 electrons?
The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.
What is the difference between non iodized salt and magnesium?
non-iodized salt is a chemical compound composed of sodium and chlorinemagnesium is an elemental metal and highly flammable
How can you tell if a substance is a compound?
a binary compound that contain exactly 2 different element. Example NaCl ( sodium chloride), NaF ( sodium fluoride), MgO ( magnesium oxide)
What compound is formed when beryllium and sodium are combined?
No binary compound between beryllium and sodium.
Why is it extremely unlikely that a new element will be discovered that fits between sodium and magnesium on the periodic table?
What makes each element unique is the number of protons in the nucleus. Sodium has 11 protons and Magnesium has 12 protons. The periodic table is arranged with the number of protons of each element increasing to the right and down the table. For an element to fit between sodium and magnesium it would have to have fewer than 12 protons but more than 11, which is simply not possible.
What is the ionic compound for Magnesium and Nitrogen?
Yes, they form Sodium nitride Na3N.
Does sodium and magnesium form an ionic compound?
No it forms Mg2+, a positive ion, as it is in group 2.
What is the Compound formula for sodium and argon?
It's unlikely because of the amount of valence electrons
