What pairs of element types are most likely to form a ionic compound?
Metal and Non-metal
Is F2 an example of an ionic compound?
F2 is neither ionic nor a compound, it is an element, fluorine, in the diatomic form.
Will element Potassiumand Chlorine form an ionic compound?
Yes, the elements potassium and chlorine will react--very vigorously--to form the ionic compound potassium chloride.
Is cesium likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine?
Yes. cesium chloride is ionic
Why is chlorine an ionic compound?
Chlorine (Cl2) is not an ionic compound. It is a covalently bonded element. Chlorine can form ionic compounds like NaCl (Sodium Chloride) or CaCl2 (Calcium Chloride) but is not itself an ionic compound.
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
Lithium
What pairs of element types are most likely to form a ionic compound?
Metal and Non-metal
Which element is likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine iodine cesium helium or iron?
Metals form ionic compounds with non metals. Fe is a metal. So it is likely to make ionic bonds with Cl.
Is CaS a covalent compound?
Ca (calcium) is an element, not a compound. and it can only form ionic compounds.
Is chloride an element?
It is the form of the element chlorine with a suffix to show that it is in a ionic compound.
Is F2 an example of an ionic compound?
F2 is neither ionic nor a compound, it is an element, fluorine, in the diatomic form.
Is magnesium and fluorine most likely to form an ionic compound?
Yes. They will form the ionic compound magnesium fluoride, MgF2.
When a metal and a non metal element combine they form what type of compound ionic or molecular?
A metal and a non-metal bond to form an ionic compound.
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and chlorine why or why not?
No, they form a covalent compound because there is not a great enough difference in electronegativity for one element to completely pull the electrons away from the other.
Will element Potassiumand Chlorine form an ionic compound?
Yes, the elements potassium and chlorine will react--very vigorously--to form the ionic compound potassium chloride.
Is cesium likely to form an ionic compound with chlorine?
Yes. cesium chloride is ionic
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely from an ionic compound?
The single "most likely" element that would form an ionic compound with fluorine is cesium, or possibly francium if enough of it could be collected. This is because cesium, among stable elements, has the lowest electronegativity and fluorine has the highest electronegativity. However, any alkali or alkaline earth metal element in fact readily forms an ionic compound with fluorine, as do many other metals.
