yes:)
Yes. Sulfur is a non-metal and magnesium is a metal, hence it suits the condition to form ionic bonds between these two elements with the formula MgS, magnesium sulfide.
3. magnesium and sulfur
The ionic compound formed between magnesium and chlorine has the formula MgCl2.
Ionic.
An ionic bond
Yes. Magnesium sulfide is an ionic compound.
Yes. Sulfur is a non-metal and magnesium is a metal, hence it suits the condition to form ionic bonds between these two elements with the formula MgS, magnesium sulfide.
Magnesium is the cation and sulfur is the anion.
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.
no
An ionic bond.
The compound is ionic because Mg (magnesium) is a metal and S (sulfur) is a non metal with a relatively high electro-negativity.MgS [note correct letter cases] has ionic bonds.
3. magnesium and sulfur
Magnesium will form a positive ion during ionic bonding. Sulfur will form a negative ion during ionic bonding. In ionic bonding, metals form positive ions and nonmetals form negative ions.
It is ionic. Electrons are transferred from magnesium to oxygen.
the formula for an ionic compound that contains the elements magnesium and sulfur.Mg + H2 SO4 -> Mg SO4 + H2. .
it is ionic bonding because magnesium is a metal and oxygen is not. ionic bonding occurs between a metal and non-metal
