Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The different behavior of magnesium and magnesium fluoride when force is applied is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Metallic bonds are formed between metals. A metallic bond is formed between positively charged ions in a sea of delocalized electrons.
An ionic bond is formed by the interaction of a metal with a non-metal. When a metal element interacts with a non-metal, the metal loses electron/electrons. The electrons lost are gained by the non-metal. The metal turns into a cation whereas the non-metal turns into an anion. The electrostatic force of attraction between the cation and the anion leads to the formation of an ionic bond between the two. The constituents in an ionic compound are ions.
