more than sure that whole group is covalent bonding such as Iodine is written I2 or Bromine is Br2. Fluorine is also in this, example F2, the 2 outer electrons as each is 19, 2,8,8,1 is shared between the 2 atoms.

Are chlorine and oxygen an ion compound?
No. Chlorine an oxygen will form covalent compounds.
Will sodium and calcium form an ionic bond?
Yes when reacting with a nonmetal like oxygen or chlorine No when reacting with each other or other metals and hydrogen
Is the formula of oxide a chemical or physical property?
Reacting with oxygen to form an oxide is a chemical property.
What happens to a copper rod if it is on fire?
Presumably burning in an oxygen-rich atmosphere, it is chemically reacting with oxygen to form copper oxide.
Why does valency of nitrogen change while reacting with oxygen?
Nitrogen can form a variety of compounds with oxygen, in which nitrogen has different valences, because reactions do not always go to completion, and oxidation does not always go to a state of maximum oxidation; the concentration of the reactants, the temperature at which the reaction takes place, and other variables affect the result.
What is the formlua for ozone reacting to form oxygen?
The formula for ozone reacting to form oxygen is O3+O= 2O2
How does sodium obey the octet rule when reacting to form compounds?
Yes
What compounds do nonmetals form when they burn in oxygen?
Nonmetals burning in oxygen form covalent type compounds, as compared to metals which form ionic compounds.
The process of oxygen reacting with a metal to form rust?
corrosion
How does neon obey the octet rule when reacting to form ionic compounds?
Neon obeys the octet rule by not reacting and not forming ionic compounds as it already has a stable outer shell of eight electrons.
When oxygen reacts with anything?
The reaction of oxygen with other elements is oxidation. An example is iron and oxygen reacting to form rust.
Does oxygen naturally form compounds?
yes. If the metal is reactive enough then oxygen naturally forms compounds.(oxides)
Which elements can combine with boron to form octect?
Boron cannot make simple compounds with a filled octet. Though it forms complex ions such as BF4- , BCl4- where it completes the octet.
Why Oxygen and chlorine are not ionic compounds?
Oxygen and chlorine are each elements, not compounds. They combined to form a number of covalent compounds because they are both nonmetals.
Are chlorine and oxygen an ion compound?
No. Chlorine an oxygen will form covalent compounds.
Does nitrite form nitrate?
Nitrite ions can form nitrate ions by reacting with oxidizing agents such as the oxygen in air.
What compounds does oxygen form?
ionic and covalent compound
