Which element is likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine iodine cesium helium or iron?

Metals form ionic compounds with non metals. Fe is a metal. So it is likely to make ionic bonds with Cl.


Does chlorine and iodine make an ionic compound?

No. They will make covalent compounds as in ICl or ICl3.


Does ionic compounds make molecules or ions?

Yes. The ionic compounds make ions


Can someone make as many ionic and polyatomic compounds with hydrogen nitrogen oxygen chlorine sodium and calcium?

- If you think only to isolated elements all these elements can form polyatomic compounds.- Calcium and sodium form ionic compounds.- H, N, O, Cl can form ionic or covalent compouds.

Is iron chloride ionic or covalent?

Iron chloride (FeCl2 or FeCl3) would have to be considered as a COVALENT compound. The reason for this is that the Cl has an electronegativity (EN) value of 3.16 and Fe has an EN value of 1.83. The difference is 1.33, and it is widely accepted that to be ionic, the EN difference should exceed 1.7. Of course, iron chloride will have some ionic character, but it should more properly be classed as a polar covalent molecule. Just because it is a metal bound to a non metal, does NOT make it ionic. This is a fallacy.
