Answer: The bond present in given compounds is as follows-

  • Ionic - MgF
  • Polar covalent - CO
  • Non-polar covalent - Cl-Cl

Explanation:

  • A bond formed due to transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called ionic bond.

An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal atom.

For example, MgF has metal magnesium and non-metal fluorine. So, an ionic bond is there in the compound MgF.

  • A compound in which valence electrons are shared between two atoms is called a covalent bond. A covalent bond is always formed between two or more non-metal atoms.

When sharing of electrons occur between atoms of different electronegativity then the bond formed is called a polar covalent bond.

For example, C-O has a polar covalent bond.

  • When sharing of electrons occur between atoms of same element then bond formed is called non-polar covalent bond.

For example, Cl-Cl is a non-polar covalent bond.
