Question

oxygen difluoride (of₂) and magnesium oxide (mgo) are both oxygen compounds. which of these compounds is covalently bonded? choose 1 answer: a of₂ b mgo c both of₂ and mgo show periodic table

Explanation:

Covalent bonds form between non - metals. Oxygen ($O$) and fluorine ($F$) in $OF_2$ are non - metals, so they form covalent bonds. Magnesium ($Mg$) in $MgO$ is a metal and oxygen is a non - metal, and they form an ionic bond.

Answer:

A. $OF_2$
