Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a compound composed of two elements: magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O).
Magnesium (Mg) is a metal. It is an alkaline earth metal located in Group 2 of the periodic table.
Oxygen (O) is a nonmetal. It is located in Group 16 of the periodic table.
So, when you combine a metal (magnesium) with a nonmetal (oxygen) to form a compound (MgO), it is considered an ionic compound, and magnesium oxide (MgO) is not classified as either a metal or a nonmetal on its own. Instead, it is an example of an ionic compound, which is formed when a metal reacts with a nonmetal.
