It`s Diatomic
Yes !
Some molecules (not just ionic compounds) always tend to come in pairs. Aluminum oxide for example Al2O3 always comes in a pair Al4O6, the empty electron pairs on the Aluminum making attractive sites for the filled electron pairs on Oxygen to 'stick' to.
No. Sharing of electrons means that the bond is covalent. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons.
CH2O is a covalent compound. It consists of nonmetal elements (carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) bonded together through shared pairs of electrons.
LiCl does not have any loaned pairs of electrons. In LiCl, lithium donates one electron to chlorine to form an ionic bond, leading to a full outer shell for both elements.
An ionic bond is formed with a metal (cation) and a non-metal (anion). Therefore, you can combine a metal, let's say Potassium and a non metal, let's say Bromine. K+ + Br- --> KBr (Ionic bond)
Pairs they always come in pairs!
Elements that are on opposite ends of the periodic table are most likely to form ionic compounds, such as metals and nonmetals. For example, sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal) form the ionic compound sodium chloride (table salt).
Ionic bond.
Adenine always pairs with thymine
It's because oxygen is always found in nature in pairs.
Double and triple bonds are typically found in covalent bonding, where two atoms share two or three pairs of electrons, respectively. In ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions. Thus, double and triple bonds are not typically present in ionic bonding.
