Magnesium oxide (MgO). An inorganic compound that occurs in nature as the mineral periclase. In aqueous media combines quickly with water to form magnesium hydroxide. It is used as an antacid and mild laxative and has many nonmedicinal uses.

Now that two oppositely charged ions have formed, strong electrostatic attraction forms between them and magnesium oxide is formed in a giant ionic lattice structure. This means that strong ionic bonds occur between the magnesium and oxygen ions in all directions.

Iron has an electronegativity of 1.83 and oxygen 3.44. The difference is 3.44 - 1.83 = 1.61. The bond character is polar covalent although the difference is very close to that of ionic bonds. So iron oxide is a polar covalent compound with ionic character.

Calcium hydroxide consists of an ionic bond between a calcium ion, Ca2+ and a hydroxide ion, OH− . The hydroxide ion itself has a single covalent bond between the oxygen and the hydrogen atoms, and so it is a covalent compound ion.

There is a strong attraction between the doubly charged magnesium and oxygen ( unlike the singly charged sodium and chloride). A lot more energy is needed to pull apart the ions in MgO, making them much less soluble in water than NaCl.

According to the official answer key, PbO isn't ionic. Although I know this distinction between ionic and covalent isn't defined sharply. But Pb is a metal and Oxygen is a non-metal.

Aluminium oxide is amphoteric. It has reactions as both a base and an acid. Reaction with water: Aluminum oxide is insoluble in water and does not react like sodium oxide and magnesium oxide. The oxide ions are held too strongly in the solid lattice to react with the water.

Magnesium oxide is a type of magnesium mineral supplement that is mostly made of magnesium—it actually contains more magnesium than other magnesium supplements.

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) has a higher melting point than Sodium Chloride (NaCl) which is around 2,800 degrees Celcius. This is because its Mg2+ and O2- ions have a greater number of charges, and so form stronger ionic bonds, than the Na+ and Cl– ions in Sodium Chloride.

So according to me, it should be Ionic. I tried to find on the internet I couldn't able to find out about PbO, although PbO2 is defined in between of ionic and covalent according to this paper. PbO should be more ionic than PbO2 since oxidation state of the Pb is lower, it will be less electronegative.

Therefore Magnesium atom has 2 valence electrons, which explains why it likes to form Mg2+ cations by losing the latter 2 electrons. How does oxygen bond with itself to form o2 if it won't have 8 valence electrons?

Ionic compounds are compounds consisting of ions. Two-element compounds are usually ionic when one element is a metal and the other is a non-metal. Examples include: sodium chloride: NaCl, with Na+ and Cl- ions. ... magnesium oxide: MgO, with Mg2+ and O2- ions.
