Ionic. The metal will donate electron(s) to the halogen that will accept electrons. NaCl, for example.
ionic bonding
A metal and a non-metal
Al is a metal and N is a non-metal, so they will form a covalent bond.
If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is above 1.7, then ionic bond is formed. If the difference in electronegativity between the metal and the non metal is below 1.7, then polar covalent bond is formed.
If the electrons are "stolen" from the metal by the nonmetal, an ionic bond is formed. If the electrons are shared between the metal and the nonmetal, a covalent bond is formed. If the electrons "resonate" between the metal and the nonmetal, a resonance bond is formed.
alkaline earth metal forms a +2 cation and halogen forms a -1 anion alkaline earth metal is a metal and halogens are non metals therefore the bond between them is ionic
ionic bond
if it occurs between non metal atoms. Covalent bonds can only occur between non metal atoms but Ionic bonds occur between metal and non metal atoms.
A metal and halogen react to form an ionic bond in which the metal gives an eletron to the halogen Most basic example would be table salt NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H20
Ionic bonds occur between a Metal and a Non Metal, these elements are both non metals.
A metal and a halogen are involved in making an ionic bond.
The bond between a metal and non-metal.
The bond between a metal and non-metal.
An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a non-metal. A covalent bond is a bond between two non-metals. Magnesium is a metal and Bromine is a non-metal, which means it is ionically bonded.
easier to gain electron from alkali metal than sharing with non-metal for covalent bond
It is in a Ionic bond.
A covalent bond is a bond between a non-metal and another non-metal, and shares electrons, while an ionic bond is a bond between a non-metal and a metal and, instead of sharing electrons, they form ions.
