When potassium bonds with chlorine is it ionic or covalent?
it forms an ionic bond
What type of bond does magnesium and chlorine have?
If it bonds with another nonmetal, it will create a covalent bond. If it bonds with a metal, it will create an ionic bond.
Does oxygen and chlorine form an ionic bond?
No, Oxygen forms covalent bonds
What kind of bond can chlorine atom form?
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds. For example:-NaCl- Here bond between chlorine and Sodium is ionic.HCl- Here bond between Hydrogen and Chlorine is covalent.
Does chlorine make a covalent bond with itself?
Covalent bonds are between two non-metals while ionic bonds are made between a metal and a non-metal. Chlorine is a non-metal, so a covalent bond forms in a diatomic molecule of chlorine.
Why do sodium and chlorine make ionic bonds?
because the bond between them have greater polarity than that of a covalent bond.
Do sodium and chlorine atom form a covalent bond?
No. Sodium can only form ionic bonds.
Is gallium chloride a covalent or ionic bond?
GaCl3 is covalent. It is dimer Ga2Cl6 with chlorine bridges, Cl2GaCl2GaCl2
Does sodium form a covalent transferring or ionic transferring or ionic sharing bond with chlorine?
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
What are two kinds of bonds and how do they form?
ionin & covalent bonds. ionic bond form between sodium and chlorine when they combine. covalent bond is foun in sugur, fats, proteins, and water.
What bonds does calcium and chlorine have in common with hydrogen and nitrogen?
They do not have any bonds in common. Calcium and chlorine atoms form an ionic bond and hydrogen and nitrogen form a polar covalent bond.
What is a bond in which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds SHARE electrons. Ionic bonds TRANSFER electrons.
