Answer:

There is ionic bonding between Mg2+ ions and NO3− ions. Which of the following claims about a binary compound in which the bonding is ionic is most likely to be scientifically valid? Both elements in the compound are metals.

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

A: not correct: one element is a metal and the other is a non-metal.

B: not correct: Fr could be combined with Cl

C: not correct: They are transferred not shared.

D: correct: Non-metals have a higher electronegativity in comparison to the metals with a low electronegativity which results in a great change in electronegativity.
