cesium fluoride
Lithium and fluorine react together to form lithium fluoride which is an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds are formed between metals and non-metals.
Yes, the elements potassium and chlorine will react--very vigorously--to form the ionic compound potassium chloride.
Chlorine
Because magnesium has a low electronegativity and chlorine has a high electronegativity, magnesium tends to lose an electron and chlorine tends to gain an electron when these substances react. This results in the formation of magnesium and chloride ions. Thus, magnesium chloride is ionic.
Lithium and fluorine react together to form lithium fluoride which is an ionic compound.
When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
Sodium and Fluorine react to form Sodium fluoride (NaF)
Zinc and chlorine react to form the binary ionic compound zinc chloride, which has the formula ZnCl2.
Magnesium is an s-block element and it forms only ionic bonds with other elements.
Ionic compounds are formed between metals and non-metals.
Yes, the elements potassium and chlorine will react--very vigorously--to form the ionic compound potassium chloride.
Radium oxide (RaO)
Chlorine
Wouldn't it be the formation of an ionic compound, BeF2. Because fluorine needs to gain one electron to become stable like the noble gases. In turn, beryllium needs to lose two electrons to become stable. So, two fluorine atoms react with one beryllium atom. The two fluorines are called anions (ions with (-) charge) and the beryllium is a 2+ cation (or ion with (+) charge). Then, to cancel out the charges, they bond together to form what is known as an ionic compound.
Because magnesium has a low electronegativity and chlorine has a high electronegativity, magnesium tends to lose an electron and chlorine tends to gain an electron when these substances react. This results in the formation of magnesium and chloride ions. Thus, magnesium chloride is ionic.
