Which one of the following compounds contains ionic bonds? A)MgS B)HF C)NCl₃ D)SiO₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MgS contains an ionic bond because Mg is a metal and S is a non-metal, which leads to the transfer of one or more electrons from Mg to S. This results in the formation of positively charged Mg ions and negatively charged S ions, held together by the electrostatic attraction between opposite charges. HF, NCl, and SiO have covalent bonds where electrons are shared between two non-metal atoms.
