Why is it important for nucleotides of DNA to bond covalently instead of ionically?
so they cant disolve
Is Freon a more covalently bonded or ionically bonded?
covalently bonded
NaCl is formed by what kind of bond?
The cation,Na +and the anion,Cl -form the ionically bondedNaClsodium chloride.
Is nitrogen ionically or covalently bonded?
covalent
Is Na cl covalent or ionic bonded?
Bonding in NaCl is ionic bond.
In an exothermic reaction the products have a what type of bond?
An exothermic reaction can produce a covalently bonded compound or an ionically bonded one. It depends on the starting reactants.
Water bond ionically or covalently?
Water contains hydrogen and oxygen, which are both nonmetals, therefore water is a covalent compound.
Is NaOH a covalent and an ionic bond?
OH -Is the polyatomic ion hydroxide and is covalently bondedNa + and OH -Make up the ionically bonded compound sodium hydroxide.
Why doesn't Li form ionic bond with Cl?
The same as NaCl - ionically in a crystal lattice
Is calcium a ionic or covalent bond?
Calcium is a metallic element and is not bonded covalently or ionically. It tends to form ionic compounds when it does react.
What element is ionically bonded to chloride?
Depends on the compound; chlorine can form an ionic bond with many elements. eg, NaCl, MgCl2, CsCl.
What type of bond is lye?
Lye is sodium hydroxide, NaOH. That's a sodium cation ionically bonded to the hydroxide anion. However, within the hydroxide anion, the oxygen and hydrogen are covalently bonded.
