Is SnCl4 ionic or covalent?

Sulfur tetrachloride is a covalent compound.


Which elements can be joined by a covalent bond K Cl C N Li Cu Fe Xe Mg N?

C and N, N and H, Cl and Cl, Xe and Xe can form covalent bonds. Mg and Cl, Li and Cl, Cu and Cl, Fe and Cl can form ionic bonds due to the large difference in electronegativity. K and Cl would form an ionic bond as well.


Why is CCl4 a covalent bond?

CCl4 forms covalent bonds because it is composed of nonmetal elements (carbon and chlorine) that share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to fill their outermost energy levels and create a more stable structure.


Does ammonium chloride have ionic or covalent bonds?

Ammonium chloride has both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the ammonium ion (NH4+) and the chloride ion (Cl-) is ionic, while the bonds within the ammonium ion itself (between nitrogen and hydrogen) are covalent.


what type of of bonds are present in in the compound carbon tetrachloride?

Carbon tetrachloride would be... CCl4 There are 4 electrons in C and 28 in Cl4... 28 + 4 = 32 So you have 32 electrons that you need to somehow disperse. C is your central atom...so your 4 Cl will be surrounding it Cl | Cl-C-Cl | Cl (....I wish we could draw stuff out on here. Sigh*) So there you have 4 bonds already...which ='s 8 electrons...so you have 24 more you need to disperse. In order to make each Cl "happy" it needs 8 electrons. Since they already have 2 electrons with the bond to C, each one just need 6. You have 4 Cl that need 6 electrons. 6+2=8..YAYYYY...so just put 6 more electrons around each Cl...so that means that there are no more bonds...there are only 4 single bonds.

Is TiCl4 ionic or covalent?

TiCl4 is a covalent compound. Titanium (Ti) and chlorine (Cl) are both nonmetals, so they share electrons to form covalent bonds rather than transferring them to form ionic bonds.


Is P3Cl5 a ionic or covalent bond?

PCl3 has covalent bonds. The difference in electronegativity between P and Cl is not large enough. The electronegativity of P is 2.19 and for Cl it is 3.16, and so the difference is less than one, making it a polar-covalent bond.


Does NCl3 h ave non-polar covalent or polar covalent chemical bonds?

NCl3 has polar covalent chemical bonds because nitrogen (N) is more electronegative than chlorine (Cl). This results in an unequal sharing of electrons, creating a slight separation of charges within the molecule.


Is A compound between P and Cl involves covalent bonding?

Being two non metals, phosphorous and chlorine form covalent bonds.


What bonds are found in CCI4?
