No, calcium tends to form ionic bonds when in compounds. In its pure metallic state, it forms metallic bonds.

Do calcium and sulfur make a covalent bond?

No, calcium and sulfur do not typically form a covalent bond because calcium typically forms ionic bonds by donating its two valence electrons to sulfur, which is a nonmetal. Calcium and sulfur would form an ionic bond in a compound like calcium sulfide (CaS).


Is calcium fluoride a covalent bond?

Calcium fluoride is an ionic compound, not a covalent bond. Ionic compounds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the attraction between oppositely charged ions, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Is Chlorine accepts 1 electron from calcium to form a stable bond an example of covalent bond?

No, this is not an example of a covalent bond. In this case, chlorine is accepting an electron from calcium to form an ionic bond, where one atom gains an electron (chlorine) and one atom loses an electron (calcium). Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.


Which bonds in calcium hydroxide are ionic and covalent?

In calcium hydroxide, the bond between calcium and hydroxide ions is ionic because calcium loses electrons to form a cation and hydroxide gains electrons to form an anion, resulting in electrostatic attraction. The bond within the hydroxide ion (O-H) is covalent, as the oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule.


Is CaS a covalent bond?

No, CaS (calcium sulfide) is not a covalent bond. It is an ionic bond, formed between calcium (a metal) and sulfur (a nonmetal) resulting in the transfer of electrons from calcium to sulfur.


Does calcium nitride have a covalent bond?

No, it is ionic


Which type of bond will magnesium most likely form?

Aside from 'The Covalent Bond' type, Magnesium will act chemically like Calcium will.


Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?

Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.


Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and flourine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?

calcium and lithium are both metals and dont form bond with each other. sodium and flourine form ionic compound, sodium fluoride. nitrogen and oxygen form covalent bond in the nitrogen oxides. helium and argon are both nonmetals / noble gases and dont form bond with each other.


What type ofchemical bond would you expect between a calcium atom and a chlorine atom a metallic a plar covalent nonpolar covalent or a ionic?

Ionic bond. Calcium, a metal, will likely donate its two electrons to chlorine, a nonmetal, to form an ionic bond due to their large difference in electronegativity.


Is CIF2 a ionic or covalent bond?

CIF2 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the calcium (Ca) and the two fluoride (F) atoms is predominantly ionic, with calcium donating electrons to fluorine. The bond between the two fluoride atoms is covalent, as they share electrons to form a fluorine molecule.


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.
