(a)
Interpretation:
The type of bond present in a compound formed from magnesium and chlorine is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards it. Polarized bonds are the result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms. If the electronegativity difference is
