Explanation:
The bond in Mg2Si is considered to be polar covalent with some ionic character. The difference in electronegativity between magnesium and silicon is about 0.6, which is very close to the 0.5 value set as threshold for covalent bonding. As a powder, magnesium silicide crystalizes in a face-centered cubic structure
