What type of bond does form with
What type of bond does \( M g \) form with \( C l ? \)
- A. Covalent
- B. Ionic
- C. co-ordinate
- D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
Mg (metal) loses two electrons to become Mg2+ and each Cl (non-metal) gains one electron to become Cl-, resulting in the ionic compound MgCl2. This transfer of electrons forms ionic bonds.
