Is calcium hydroxide covalent or ionic?
Calcium hydroxide is an ionic compound.
Does calcium hydroxide share electrons or transfer electrons?
Calcium Hydroxide uses ionic bonding to share electons.
What bonds in calcium hydroxide CaOH2 are ionic and which are covalent?
The bonds between calcium and hydroxide in calcium hydroxide are ionic, and the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen are covalent.
Calcium carbide-types of bonds?
Calcium carbide is formed by ionic bonding.
Does calcium have ionic bonds or covalent bonds?
Neither. Calcium atoms are held together by a third type of strong bonding - metallic bonding. Calcium forms ionic bonds with non-metals only. Metallic bonding involves electrons being free to move around amongst the calcium atoms.
How is it possible to calcium hydroxide to have both ionic and covalent bonds?
The hydroxide anions in calcium hydroxide have covalent bonding between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, and these anions are ionically bonded to calcium cations to form the complete compound.
Is calcium hydroxide covalent or ionic?
Calcium hydroxide is an ionic compound.
Is calcium and lithium polar covalent ionic or non covalent?
Calcium and lithium individually are both elements with metallic bonding and not any of polar, covalent, or ionic bonding. They could be described as non covalent.
Does calcium hydroxide share electrons or transfer electrons?
Calcium Hydroxide uses ionic bonding to share electons.
What bonds in calcium hydroxide CaOH2 are ionic and which are covalent?
The bonds between calcium and hydroxide in calcium hydroxide are ionic, and the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen are covalent.
How is it possible for calcium hydroxide to have covalent and and ionic bonds?
Bonds aren't strictly covalent or ionic - it's a whole grey area. CaOH2 probably has bonds with both covalent and ionic properties.
Calcium carbide-types of bonds?
Calcium carbide is formed by ionic bonding.
How is it possible for calcium hydroxide have both ionic and convalent bond?
The Oxygen and the Hydrogen atoms are held together by Covalent bonds and the Calcium is held together with Ionic bonds.
Is calcium disoduim ionic or covalent type of compound?
it is ionic type of bonding
Is calcium fluoride a covalent bond?
Calcium and fluorine will form an ionic bond.
Does calcium have ionic bonds or covalent bonds?
Neither. Calcium atoms are held together by a third type of strong bonding - metallic bonding. Calcium forms ionic bonds with non-metals only. Metallic bonding involves electrons being free to move around amongst the calcium atoms.
Is CaF2 a covalent compound?
The bonding in calcium fluoride (not "flouride") is ionic, not covalent.
