The compound Hg₂I₂, known as mercurous iodide, consists of two Mercury (Hg) atoms and two iodide (I) ions. In this compound, the two mercury atoms are bonded together in a diatomic cation (Hg₂²⁺), which is stabilized by the presence of two iodide ions. The bond between the mercury atoms is a metallic bond, while the interaction between the Hg₂²⁺ cation and the iodide anions involves ionic bonding. This results in a compound that exhibits both metallic and ionic characteristics.

How many bonds are present in one double bond and one single bond?
In one double bond, there are 2 bonds (1 σ bond and 1 π bond), and in one single bond, there is 1 bond (1 σ bond). So in total, there are 3 bonds present (1 σ bond and 1 π bond from the double bond, and 1 σ bond from the single bond).
What is the difference between a double bond and triple bond?
double bond contains one sigma bond and one pi bond triple bond contains one sigma bond and two pi bond
Is mercury covalent or ionic bond?
Mercury ions are cations. Chloride ions are anions. "In an ionic bond, the atoms are bound together by the attraction between oppositely-charged ions. In a covalent bond, the atoms are bound by shared electrons." 1 mercury ion loses 2 electrons to 2 chloride ions (i.e. 1 electron to 1 chloride ion), thus forming an ionic compound MgCl2.
What chemical bond that occurs when atoms share electrons?
covalent bond,coordinate bond and singlet bond
