which type of bond is formed between magnesium (mg) and oxygen (o) atoms?
metallic bond
covalent bond
ionic bond

1. choose the best answers using a periodic table. (see companion material attached.)

Explanation:

• For question 8: Hydrogen (H) and fluorine (F) are both non - metals. Non - metals tend to form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
• For question 9: Magnesium (Mg) is a metal (it donates electrons) and oxygen (O) is a non - metal (it accepts electrons). Metals and non - metals form ionic bonds through the transfer of electrons.

Answer:

1. covalent bond
2. ionic bond
