Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To classify the given substances into ionic, covalent, molecular, or metallic categories, we can analyze each substance based on its bonding characteristics and structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **MgO (Magnesium Oxide)**: - **Classification**: Ionic - **Explanation**: Magnesium (Mg) donates two electrons to become Mg²⁺, while oxygen (O) accepts two electrons to become O²⁻. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond. ...
