Can a magnesium atom bond with any of these? why or why not?

Magnesium and Aluminum
Magnesium and Neon
Magnesium and Chlorine

Respuesta :

Magnesium is a metal in group 2 of the periodic table in period three with a valency of 2 and reacts by loosing electrons. Magnesium cannot react with Aluminium because both of them are metals and react by loosing electrons thus no bond would be formed between them. Neon is a noble gas with an octet configuration thus will not react with magnesium. However, Magnesium will react with chlorine which is a non metal and reacts by gaining an electron thus forming an ionic bond.
