Question

based on the location of the elements magnesium (mg) and bromine (br) in the periodic table, which is a characteristic of the compound mgbr₂? it has a high melting point. it is formed by covalent bonds. it is a gas at room temperature. it does not conduct electricity when dissolved in water.

Explanation:

Magnesium (Mg) is a metal and bromine (Br) is a non - metal. They form an ionic compound $MgBr_2$. Ionic compounds have high melting points due to strong electrostatic forces between ions. They are formed by ionic bonds, are solid at room temperature, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water as they dissociate into ions.

Answer:

It has a high melting point.
