No. Sodium can only form ionic bonds.
pure covalent; ionic
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds. For example:-NaCl- Here bond between chlorine and Sodium is ionic.HCl- Here bond between Hydrogen and Chlorine is covalent.
because the bond between them have greater polarity than that of a covalent bond.
Sodium chloride is ionic.
Ionic, chlorine does not share any electrons with sodium to form a bond.
No. Sodium can only form ionic bonds.

Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds. For example:-NaCl- Here bond between chlorine and Sodium is ionic.HCl- Here bond between Hydrogen and Chlorine is covalent.
Covalent.
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
because the bond between them have greater polarity than that of a covalent bond.
Covalent bonds are between non-metals only. Ions in covalent bonds share electrons. Ionic bonds are between a non-metal and a metal and the ions transfer electrons. Sodium (Na) is a metal and chlorine (Cl) is a non-metal. Therefore, sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond, in which ions transfer electrons.
Sodium chloride is ionic.
It is an ionic compound. The bond between sodium and Chlorine is an ionic bond.
No. Sodium and Chlorine form an Ionic bond because the difference of their electronegativities equal 2.1. Use this: Nonpolar-covalent bond - 0-0.39 Polar-covalent bond - 0.4-1.79 Ionic bond - 1.8+
