Question 8 of 20

What is the difference between the chemical bonds formed in molecules of
N₂ and the chemical bonds formed in crystals of Mg0?
A. Both N₂ and MgO are covalent substances, but the bonding
electrons in MgO are shared more equally between atoms than
they are in N₂.
B. MgO is an ionic substance, and N₂ is a covalent substance.
C. MgO is a covalent substance, and N₂ is an ionic substance.
D. Both N₂ and MgO are covalent substances, but the bonding
electrons in N₂ are shared more equally between atoms than they
are in MgO.

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

N2 is a covalent compound because covalent compound is usually between nonmetals and ionic compounds are between metals and nonmetals. Mg ion react with O to produce MgO
