Magnesium phosphide (Mg3P2 or P2Mg3) is IONIC because it is a combination of a metal and non-metal. • Each magnesium, of which there are three, LOSES two electrons each to become +2 charged • Each phosphorus atom, of which there are two, GAINS three electrons each to become -3 charged. • They are held together with an ionic bond and we use square brackets to show their charge in the lewis dot diagram. • Check me out: http://www.chemistnate.com
