explain the type of bond in Mgcl2 and C4H8
Answers
Answer:
In first ionic bond n in second covalent bond
Explanation:
In MgCl2 ionic bond
, Magnesium has 12 electrons, and its electronic configuration can be written as 2,8,2. .
, each Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and its electronic configuration can be written as 2,8,7. .
Magnesium wants to give away its two valence electrons to complete its octet by having 8 electrons in its outermost orbit attaining the electronic configuration of its nearest inert gas Neon. And each chlorine atom wants to complete its octet by adding one more electron in its outermost orbit so that it can have 8 electrons in its outermost orbit attaining the electronic configuration of its nearest inert gas Argon.
, Magnesium transfers its two electrons to its neighboring chlorine atoms, and forms two ionic bonds between the atoms.
Thus, MgCl2 is an electrovalent compound or an ionic compound.
C4H8 is having covalent bond
In this carbon isn't capable for donating electrons
So it shares its 4 electrons
Therefore forms a covalent bond
