Is AgF2 ionic or covalent

Answer 1

AgCl has a similar crystal structure to NaCl. The bonding is usually described as ionic with some covalent contribution. Some estimates of the ionic character are around 85%. This can be shown by the value of the lattice energy (enthalpy) for AgCl which is greater than woud be expected for a purely ionic bond.

An explanation is the difference in electronegativity between Ag and Cl is only 1.23 which is insufficient for a pure ionic bond involving full transfer of the electron from the Ag atom to the Cl atom.

Answer 2

Silver bromide is usually called ionic. However it has covalent character as evidenced by its poor solubility.

Answer 3

Like nearly all metal compounds it is ionic.

Answer 4

AgF2 is considered to be ionic because it consists of a metal (silver) and a non-metal (fluorine), resulting in the transfer of electrons from silver to fluorine to form ions with opposite charges.

Answer 5

ionic
