No. An anion may contain covalent bonds, if it is a polyatomic anion, but an anion forms only ionic bonds if the anion's chemical integrity is maintained.

Can a covalent bond form between an anion and a cation?

Yes, a covalent bond can form between an anion and a cation when they share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This type of bond is known as an ionic-covalent bond or coordinate covalent bond.

Is lead monoxide a ionic or covalent bond?

Lead monoxide has an ionic bond. Lead, being a metal, tends to lose electrons to form a cation, while oxygen, being a non-metal, tends to gain electrons to form an anion. This electrostatic attraction between the cation (lead) and the anion (oxygen) results in an ionic bond in lead monoxide.

What covalent bonds in sulfamic acid and water must have been broken to form this anion?

The covalent bond between the hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom in sulfamic acid must have been broken to form its anion. In water, the covalent bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms must also have been broken to form the hydronium ion.


Is FeO a covalent bond or ionic bond?

FeO is an ionic bond. Iron (Fe) is a metal and oxygen (O) is a non-metal, so they tend to form an ionic bond where Fe loses electrons to form Fe2+ cation and O gains electrons to form O2- anion.


What kind of chemical bond is formed when atoms share electrons?

When atoms share electrons, they form a chemical bond, or covalent bond.

What type of covalent bond is ZnCl2?

Zinc chloride is an ionic compound due to the bond between the metal and non-metal.


Does sodium and nitrogen form a covalent or ionic bond?

Sodium and nitrogen typically form an ionic bond where sodium loses an electron to become a cation, and nitrogen gains an electron to become an anion. This results in the formation of an ionic compound, such as sodium nitride (Na3N).


Is Nal ionic?

Yes, Nal is ionic because it consists of a cation (Na+) and an anion (I-) with opposite charges that attract each other to form an ionic bond.
