"I believe it is Ionic."
Whoever said this is wrong, it's covalent (they share an electron from each atom to stabillise themselves) with an instantaneous dipole induced dipole intermolecular force.

∙ 13y agoIt is neither ionic nor a compound.
It is an element in the form of diatomic molecules, which contain covalent bonds.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoNo, Cl2 is not ionic, because the dipole movements cancel each other out. in simpler terms, if the molecule is symmetrical, it is non-polar, and therefore not ionic.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo, CL2 is not a compound. It is chlorine, but it is created with diatomic molecules. That means that it is an element.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Two atoms of the same element will never form an ionic bond. Cl2 contains a covalent bond.

What are the examples of ionic equation?
Na+Cl2=NaCl
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.
What compound is not likely to have ionic bonds?
There are many compounds that do not have ionic bonds. The most common would be the diatomic gases, such as N2, O2, Cl2, etc.
Is CIF2 a ionic or covalent bond?
There is no such thing as CI2 However, Cl2 is elemental chlorine, which is covalently bonded to form diatomic molecules.
The bond in the diatomic chlorine molecule Cl2 is but the bond in sodium chloride NaCl is?
pure covalent; ionic
Which is a convalenly bonded molecule cl2 air ne nacl?
Cl2 is covalent. NaCl is ionic.
What are the examples of ionic equation?

The bond in the diatomic chlorine molecule Cl2 is but the bond in sodium chloride NaCl is?
pure covalent; ionic
Is chlorine molecular ionic or metallic?
The element chlorine at standard temperature and pressure is molecular and has the formula Cl2.
What has a higher boiling point NaCl or Cl2?
NaCl is an ionic solid with a high boiling point. Cl2 is held together by weak dispersion forces and is a gas at room temperature. That means Cl2 has already boiled and formed a gas at a temperature lower than room temperature.
What compound has ionic bonding CaO NO2 HF Cl2?
CaO because Ca is a metal and O is a gas and all the other possibillities are gasses combined and ionic has a metal and gas combination if you look at the periodic table of elements the right side is gases but they are determined by like a staircase and the rest are metals
Why are group 1 and seven elements normally used as part of a compound?
They very reactively form simple ionic products, called salts (di-ionic) Example: 2Na + Cl2 --> 2Na+Cl-
Is clorine a covalent or ionic?
Chlorine, Cl2 is covalent. Any molecules which consist of two atoms of the same element must be covalent. In compounds with other elements chlorine can form ionic or covalent compounds.
