Sodium (Na) always forms ionic bonds, so it is an ionic compound.
ionic
polar
Covalent. In compounds this may be a single or double bond. In the elemental form N2 there is a triple bond.
Ionic bond between Na+ and OH- and a covalent bond in the hydroxide ion bonding hydrogen to oxygen
Sodium (Na) always forms ionic bonds, so it is an ionic compound.
Ionic bond
ionic bond
This is called an ionic bondExample:Na --> Na+ + 1 e-Cl + 1 e- --> Cl-Na+ + Cl- --> Na+Cl-
It's a covalent bond.
polar
This bond is covalent.
