the bonding of silver is very simple. Silver bonds with th components that the element is in contact with. The cunsuperios algeans in the element give it the prbability that it is likely to attach itself to its bonding material.

===============================================

From Pisgahchemist:

Silver and chlorine form a polar covalent bond. Look at the electronegativity difference and the percent ionic character. ΔEN = 1.23. Percent ionic character = 32%. This means that the bond is much more covalent than ionic.

Perhaps you have heard that metals and nonmetals always have ionic bonds. That is simply not true and a vast oversimplification. Just because two atoms may combine in a network lattice, doesn't necessarily mean that the bonds are "ionic." Keep in mind that all bonds lie along a continuum, and that there are few 100% covalent bonds and essentially no 100% ionic bonds. Think of "ionic" and "covalent" as ideal bonds, and just like an ideal gas is an approximation, of a real gas, real bonds have characteristics of both ionic and covalent bonds.

Therefore, don't be misled by responses that classify bonds as either "ionic" or "covalent". Silver atoms in AgCl do not have actual charges of +1, nor do chlorine atoms have actual charges of -1. You should realize that almost all bonds lie somewhere in between the two extremes, and rank the bond by its ionic character, as given by the difference in electronegativity.

% ionic character = 100(1 - e^-(ΔEN²/4))

What type of bonding for the potassium chloride?

Potassium chloride forms ionic bonding. Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between positively charged potassium ions and negatively charged chloride ions.


What solutions make silver chloride?

Silver chloride can be made by combining silver nitrate with sodium chloride. This will result in a white precipitate of silver chloride forming in the solution. Alternatively, silver chloride can also be made by reacting hydrochloric acid with silver nitrate.


What is the type of bonding in the compound sodium chloride?

Sodium chloride has ionic bonding, which is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (sodium cation and chloride anion). This type of bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.


What is the correct name for the compound AgCl?

Silver(I) chloride, although it is typically just called silver chloride, because +1 is silver's only valence state.


Silver chloride often used in silver plating contains 75.27 percent Ag Calculate the mass of silver chloride required to plate 285mg of pure silver?

To calculate the mass of silver chloride needed to plate 285mg of pure silver, you can start by determining the mass of silver in the silver chloride. Since silver chloride contains 75.27% silver, the mass of silver in the silver chloride is 0.7527 * mass of silver chloride. Once you have the mass of silver in the silver chloride, you can set up a ratio to find the mass of silver chloride needed to plate 285mg of pure silver.

How is the bonding in calcium oxide different from the bonding in sodium chloride?

calcium is mdonating one electron to each chloride. This makes the calcium a positive charge and the chloride a negative charge. This is called ionic bonding (CaCl2)
