No it is not. Carbon is a covalent bond.


What type of bond would form between carbon and chlorine?

Covalent. CH3-Cl = chloromethane CH2-Cl2 = di-chloromethane CH-Cl3 - tri-chloromethane CCl4 = tetrachloromethane. All the bonds are covalent. However, because of chlorines strong electronegativity , the electrons in the C-Cl bond polarise towards the chlorine.


What pair is most likely to form a covalent bond lithium and iodine sodium and oxygen calcium and chlorine copper and tin or carbon and oxygen?

Carbon and oxygen are the only pair in that list that will form a covalent bond; the others will form ionic bonds, except for copper and tin which will form a metallic bond.

Which atoms will likely form a covalent bond with the atoms of chlorine?

Atoms on the Right Hand Side of the periodic table - Carbon, Phosphorous, Chlorine itself etc


Why is it not possible for a chlorine atom to form a double covalent bond?

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and needs one more electron to form octet. Hence each chlorine will form only one covalent bond and not two bonds (or double bond).
