Question

mark which best describes the ionic compound that would result from the element combination given. magnesium and rubidium
lonic compound with a strength of 6
lonic compound with a strength of 4
lonic compound with a strength of 2
no ionic compound is formed because a noble gas does not react
no ionic compound is formed since you do not have a metal and a nonmetal
no ionic compound is formed since you do not have a metal and a nonmetal

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed between a metal and a non - metal through the transfer of electrons. Magnesium (Mg) and Rubidium (Rb) are both metals. Since an ionic compound requires a metal and a non - metal combination for its formation, no ionic compound is formed in this case.

Answer:

No ionic compound is formed since you do not have a metal and a nonmetal
