What is the shape and structure of Magnesium Oxide? Thank you for helping me.
Answered by bobpursley
It is an ionic substance that as magnesia forms a unit cell in cubic form, the same form as sodium chloride.

MgO has no molecular shape because it is not made of molecules. It is an ionic solid. The crystal structure of MgO is similar to that of NaCl (cubic cf8).
