What bond does tin and oxygen form?
Tin can form weakly ionic bonds with several non metals including oxygen, sulfur and chlorine.
Is tin covalent?
I was thinking about this and I think its neither. I looked up a periodic table and its outer shell configuration is similar to Si and Ge. Therefore why is Tin not a semiconductor? I think its because Tin does metallic bonding, whereas if it was covalent, Tin would be a group 4 semiconductor.
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.
What is the ionic charge of stannic?
+4. Please note that compounds of tin (IV) are generally covalent, tin has an electronegativity of 1.96 so will be generally covalent, and at best borderline covalent /ionic with electronegative elements other other than fluorine. Also Sn4+ would be higlly polarising due to high charge which tips the balance even furter towards covalency.
Is copper and tin an ionic compound?
No. Copper an tin form an alloy called bronze. An alloy, is a mixture not a compound. Metals can form binary compounds with nonmetals, but not other metals.

Why tin fluoride is ionic while tin chloride is covalent?
An ionic bond is where electrons are transferred from one to the other, but a covalent bond is where the electrons are 'shared'.
Do metals receive electrons while forming their compounds?
Metals are more likely to donate electrons to form ionic compounds. However, some transition metals such as mercury and tin can form covalent bonds in which the metal shares an electron with another atom
Is tin paramagnetic?
Yes tin in the form of metallic white tin is paramagnetic, the grey form alpha-tin with a covalent diamond like structure is diamagnetic.

What does tin and chlorine make?
When Tin and chlorine combine it creates either:-SnCl2, called tin(II) chloride, stannous chloride. This is molecular in the gas phase and forms polymeric covalent chains in the solid (mp. 247 anhydrous form)), but dissolves to form Sn2+ which may hydrolyse. The electronegativity difference is only 1.2 so it would be expected to be covalent rather than ionic.A covalent molecular compound SnCl4, tin(IV) chloride, stannic chloride, tin tetrachloride.
Is copper and tin an ionic compound?
No. Copper an tin form an alloy called bronze. An alloy, is a mixture not a compound. Metals can form binary compounds with nonmetals, but not other metals.
Is SntinA Covalent Bond?
Is Sn(tin) A Covalent Bond?
Do group 8 elements form ions?
Group-14 elements share electrons. they form covalent bonds.
Does geranium form ionic or covalent bonds?
The number of chemical bonds in a geranium can vary, but there will be an astronomical number. Let's look at something and see what's up. We'll conduct a little experiment of sorts. Go to the kitchen and measure out about 4 tablespoons of table salt. (Keep things clean and you can put it back when you're done.) It's sodium chloride, NaCl, and in your approximately 4 tablespoons of salt you have about 6.02 x 1023 molecules of salt. That's 6.02 x 1023 chemical bonds in just the four tablespoons of material. Now consider the plant. How much of it is there? And there will be lots of organic material in it (it's living), and these have lots of covalent bonds in high density in the large, complex organic molecules of the plant. Warm up the calculator. How many chemical bonds in a geranium? A lot.
